The head of the European Commission (EC), Ursula von der Leyen, promised farmers in the eastern EU countries, including Hungary and Poland, a 100 million euro assistance program to lift the ban on grain imports from Ukraine, the European Commission said, reported from TASS.

The President of the European Commission sent a response to the EU countries’ letter on the import of Ukrainian agricultural products, the commission said.

"We have already sent a support package of 56.3 million euros to the most affected farmers and are now preparing a new support package of 100 million euros," the commission added.
