Is European public support for Ukraine faltering? | Inside Story


The European Union has been one of Ukraine’s biggest backers in its fight against Russia.
One of the many ways its given support is by reducing tariffs on Ukrainian agricultural imports.
But now, European farmers are pushing back.
They say their livelihoods are being undermined by foreign competition and want the trade barriers…

  1. Yes, the support isn't as it was before, also the way how other peoples in Europe looks at Ukrainians changed as well. What are the reasons?
    1. Ukraine is very, very corrupted country.
    Lot of financial help is simply stolen.
    2. Ukrainians are very demanding – give us, cause we deserves for it
    3. They use a situation to gain goods and support for free, living a happy-go-lucky in neighbourhood countries. They also transferring those goods to the Ukraine. And those are peoples from this part of Ukraine where's no military actions.
    Society of Poland, Hungary, Slovakia has simply enough of it.

  2. In Ukraine there are no farmers. There are farm workers.The land is basically devided between 10 big holdings owned by oligarhs. They are registered in tax paradises, so they DON'T add to Ukrainian budget.
    Also what Ukrainian man was saying aften wasn't truth.

  3. Europapa where youre child is learning 'find youre asshool' in the netherlands when he is 4 years old and how boys can like another boy to on school when youre child is 4 years old. Yeah europapa 🤢🤢🤮

  4. The US and NATO are planning to invade Russia not from today, but since the collapse of former USSR.
    They're just looking for an excuse not only to weaken Russia economically and militarily but also to invade and colonize it permanently and then rob and loot the enormous resources and wealth of Russia the same way as they had robbed and looted the wealth of Asia Africa and Latin America for centuries by colonizing weak nations.
    Russia had never ever invaded any country except Ukraine. While the United States had allies invaded Vietnam, Nicaragua, Iraq, Iran, Serbia, Croatia, Syria, Yemen, Libya, and Afghanistan.
    The US and NATO have only one motto of weakening Russia by engaging it in a war with Russia. They will never go for peace but rather will keep continuing the war as long as possible till and until last Ukrainian is dead. Once Russia is weakened economically and militarily, they'll invade it. NATO is increasingly interested in Russian resources and wealth. Keeping this in view, it has expanded NATO up to 30+ members and surrounded Russian land borders from all corners, installing missiles along the Russian borders and engaged in pre-war exercises. NATO is fully prepared to invade Russia, only looking for a suitable time.
    By making Ukraine a scapegoat and by applying sanctions, it has already weakened Russia economically and militarily.
    Soon and very soon, NATO will directly attack Russia.

  5. So, this is how the Polish and Western Europeans treat their friends in Ukraine, by dumping Ukrainian grain on the streets and the edges of railway tracks and referring to their produce as "wheat fit for Africa"? Contrary to European racist fantasy, the reality is that much of Ukraine's wheat goes to larger markets in Europe and elsewhere than Africa:

    Ukrainian grain has played a direct role in easing a global food crisis with 725,200 tonnes, or2.2 percent of the supplies, shipped through the corridor used by the United Nations WorldFood Programme (WFP) as 'aid' to countries such as Ethiopia, Somalia, and Yemen […]

    However, as of Monday, almost 8 million tonnes of goods have been shipped to China, nearly 25 percent of the 32.9 million tonnes exported, according to the UN, while almost 44 percent of exports were shipped to high-income countries. – Al Jazeera, 2023.

    If European farmers are confident that Ukraine's wheat is "for Africa," why don't they quit crying and just export to Africa, given that their complaints suggest that Ukraine is no longer serving African markets? It implies that Ukraine has abandoned its "traditional" market in Africa in favor of the European one.

  6. The way the US, with the complicity of the EU, pushed Ukraine into fighting a proxy war against Russia is just disgraceful. Big multinationals have also been buying up Ukrainian land and the whole situation is a catastrophe

  7. I'm sympathetic to the Ukrainians given that they're fighting NATO's war. But honestly, I think it's time they consider talks with Russia. Unlike in Gaza, they're not actually occupied. They still have a state, they still have their territory for the most part. If they're willing to negotiate something the entirety of the western world will be behind them. The prolonged war is not sustainable for them. And the ramifications for the continued war is also not good for the rest of Europe.

  8. The whole situations could stop there and then when ukraine had a peace agreement in turkey but little man with a big mouth prefer to go war against the russian ,now why are Ukrainian complaining about thd russian attacks, the day they ditch thd peace agreement there future decided which is total destruction and no one can stop that not to happen to little too late for now enjoy the free meal paid by the rest of the world .

  9. Ukraine should never joined with the USA as you know The USA wants this war to be on the porch of the Russian people PUTIN is correct dont blame PUTIN blame Victoria Nulands passing out cookies in the Maidon Square to for out the Goverment in 2014 so the USA could implant a and American Goverment in Ukraine ,dont blame the Russian blame the Ukraine for think stupidelly the Ukraines should had been looking at history as the Americans start wars and then they leave the countries in ruins and never won war yet

  10. Once it is obvious to everyone that Russia is not invading their country…..the old and existing issues take center stage.
    The Ukraine war is a joke and they should seek peace.
    Who wants to sacrifice their livelihood to a stupid war.
    Why should EU bear the possibility of WW3 starting…..
    Why should EU spend more on defense when the economy is so bad…
    No more cheap Russian oil and gas …..

  11. I don't quite understand how grain isn't needed around the world. No country should be suffering from grain exports. Unless NATO is freaking diverting or controlling where grain can be sold. That's what I hate about NATO and this world order… Let the countries sell to freaking Africa and all over the world.

  12. Ukraine remain total land area will be 70 thounsand sq kilometre. Rest of 85% will take russia, 5% by poland, 5% by hungary and rumania, 5% will be belarus.
    Ukraine will be a landlucked tiny country.

  13. 😂😂😂 Did they say ‘ Let Ukraine send it to Africa and protect our Eu farmers. Africa never been protectionist like the Eu US and Africa never sanctioned any EU or US country. But from now on Africa should be very careful how they trade and become more protectionists .

  14. Faltering ? It looks like the whole world is helping Ukraine. Only the murderers are helping Putin. Want to help the murderers ? Buy Russian oil and buy FAKE IN CHINA.
