Polish farmers, together with organisations of hunters, beekeepers, and miners, are on strike on March 6 in Warsaw and other cities of the country against the import of Ukrainian agricultural products and the European Green Deal.
Anti-Ukrainian posters at the strike of Polish farmers in Warsaw
Journalists noticed posters with anti-Ukrainian inscriptions on their road from the Government to Sejm.
