Bulgaria has imposed a temporary ban on food imports from Ukraine, except for goods in transit, announced caretaker Prime Minister Galab Donev at the beginning of the government meeting.

"Over the past year, Bulgaria has seen large volumes of food remain in the country, disrupting supply chains. If the trend persists or intensifies, there may be extremely serious consequences for Bulgarian business. We are forced to adopt this national measure because the European authorities are still considering an adequate measure. We are counting on the EU to understand the positions of Bulgaria, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. We remain in solidarity with Ukraine, but the bankruptcy of Bulgarian farmers will not contribute to its cause”, Premier Donev said.
