Farmers burn flares and wave Polish flags during the protest. Farmers rallied in the heart of Warsaw to voice their discontent with the agricultural policies of the European Union. Polish farmers strongly oppose the European Commission's recent move to prolong duty-free trade with Ukraine until 2025. Additionally, they are opposed to the adoption of the EU's Green Deal, the influx of inexpensive agricultural goods from Ukraine, and are calling for assistance in bolstering animal husbandry. During the protest, farmers set off flares, ignited bonfires in the streets of Warsaw, and clashed with law enforcement officers.
