I'm Polish-Australian and could write you a long reply why the Polish farmers are doing this.
- grain and other foodstuffs not going to Africa but flooding the EU market, destroying farmers lives.
- grain and other foodstuffs use pesticides and farming methods banned in the EU.
- top ten agribusinesses that dominate Ukraine, are domiciled overseas and do not pay tax in Ukraine.
But hey, isin't posting about farmers and grain on a military aviation forum off topic?
Back on topic, seems like the hawks on this thread are in the extreme minority amongst European society. Maybe it's just a pommy thing?
Support for
Ukraine among Europeans remains broad, but nearly two years after the full-scale invasion barely 10% now believe it can defeat Russia, according to an EU-wide survey – with some form of “compromise settlement” seen as the most likely end point.
The shift in sentiment – this time last year,
more Europeans than not said Ukraine must regain all its lost territory – will demand that politicians take a more “realistic” approach that focuses on defining what an acceptable peace must actually mean, the report’s authors argue.
