Poland continues to import Russian vegetables despite EU sanctions

Poland has been importing Russian vegetables despite the EU sanctions against Russia, according to reports by Berliner Zeitung. Dozens of trucks carrying Russian tomatoes and cucumbers are arriving at the wholesale market in the Polish town of Bronisze, where they are being sold at prices well below EU-produced vegetables. Polish farmers have been struggling to meet the increased energy costs to power their greenhouses, which have led to a hike in food prices. The annual inflation in Poland has also reached 18.4%, with food prices and energy costs rising at the fastest pace.
