The allocation of aid of 24.3 million euros to producers of cow’s milk, poultry and pigs, affected by the war in Ukraine, has been published today in an ordinance of the Ministry of Agriculture.

The Minister of Agriculture and Food, Maria do Céu Antunes, in the preamble of the diploma, justifies the choice of the poultry, pig and cow’s milk sectors because they reveal important negative economic effects, namely, derived from the increase in production costs in the first quarter of this year.

According to the minister, the decision to apply support to these sectors was made based on an impact assessment of the invasion of Ukraine, taking into account the relative weight of the most relevant production factors in the total costs of each activity, in the evaluation of the adjustment capacity as a consequence of the productive cycles of the sectors, as well as the relevance of the costs of the factors of production whose price has increased the most since the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine, namely, animal feed, energy and fertilizers.

Lithuania has announced that it will comply with the directives from Brussels and allow the passage of certain people to the enclave of Kaliningrad. However, the Baltic country’s foreign ministry criticized the European Commission’s decision, saying the previous policy was “more acceptable.”

In a statement quoted by Reuters, Lithuania goes further and points out that the new policy on the transit of goods to Kaliningrad “may create the unjustified impression of a relaxation of the sanctions policy of the transatlantic community against Russia.”

For its part, the Russian Foreign Ministry welcomes the decision, saying it is a “demonstration of realism and common sense.” However, Moscow still raises some questions “about the content of the document”.

Kaliningrad Governor Anton Alikhanov said the goal was to “completely remove restrictions” on the Russian enclave.

The European Commission issued a statement in the last hours in which it reiterates its support for Ukraine in international courts, criticizing the allegations by the Russian authorities that a genocide is being carried out in Donbass.

“Russia has no legal basis to have unleashed its military action in Ukraine on the basis of the accusation of genocide,” reads the statement, which also urges the Russian authorities to stop the offensive.

Brussels welcomes Ukraine’s efforts to “ensure that international law is respected” and hopes that international courts can “exercise their fundamental basis of promoting peaceful dispute resolution.”

“We reiterate that Russia must be held accountable for its actions,” says the European Commission, which blames Russia for “violations of international law.”

Russia again bombed the city of Mykolaiv, in southern Ukraine, today, denounced the city’s mayor, Oleksandr Sienkevych. The explosions were heard before 6 am (local time).
