Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the European Union Kirill Logvinov said that the refusal of Slovakia, Hungary and Poland to comply with the European Commission’s decision on the import of Ukrainian agricultural products could set a contagious example for other EU countries that do not want this. To implement decisions that are against them. The diplomat talked about this in an interview RIA News.
Logvinov noted that the latest conflict arising from the EU’s policy of providing comprehensive support to Kiev is explained by the problem of increasing imports of Ukrainian agricultural products into the European Union. This is exactly the situation facing Slovakia, Hungary and Poland.
The diplomat emphasized that the actions of three EU member states that refuse to submit to adverse conditions could become a contagious example for other EU countries. Logvinov pointed out that recently the EU’s political directives are increasingly in conflict with the economic interests of member states and all sectors of their economies. According to the diplomat, this trend has intensified with the increasing pressure on sanctions against Russia.
