2024 Chinese New Year outlook
The Russia-Ukraine conflict has had an extremely profound impact on Europe, and European countries have suffered huge losses in order to support Ukraine.
For example, the imposition of sanctions on Russia, saying that it is sanctions against Russia, is actually sanctioning the EU itself, because the EU used to be Russia's largest partner, and the EU is very dependent on all kinds of energy from Russia, from firewood to nuclear fuel, it has been importing a large amount from Russia.
For example, in order to help Ukraine, European countries have spent a lot of money.
At the same time, in order to keep Ukraine's economy from completely collapsing, the EU has also provided Ukraine with various privileges.
This has caused great harm to EU countries, especially several EU countries bordering Ukraine, a large number of Ukrainian low-cost agricultural products have poured into EU countries, forcing European farmers to have no way to live, and there are many industries that rely on the preferential policies provided by the EU to engage in unfair competition in EU countries, and also affect the interests of European people.
Now, there is a risk that this effect will detonate completely, and the EU will be missing another piece.
Polish peasants blocked Ukrainian border crossings)
The Poles completely blocked the Ukrainian border crossings
According to the Russian Sputnik news agency, Polish farmers have fallen out with ** and intend to block the border with Ukraine indefinitely.
Previously, it was said that the farmers had reached a settlement with the Polish authorities and would cancel the ** event.
As a result, the activity is now more extreme, not only the complete blockade of border crossings on the Ukrainian border, but also the blockade of other transport hubs and access roads to transshipment stations and seaports.
According to the farmers involved in the lockdown, they had no choice but to starve to death if they didn't push for some change, so they had to carry the lockdown through to the end.
The Russian media pointed out some of the things they saw at the scene, and the people set up aqua toilets and brought generators, and the places where the practice was established were obviously to be locked down for a long time.
In addition, there are ** sources who have released information that Polish farmers have emptied Ukrainian trucks of grain at the Dorohusk crossing.
If it continues, there is a high risk of armed conflict.

Polish farmers demanded to leave the European Union
In addition to the worrying border situation, the crisis in Poland has the potential to have a major impact on the EU.
Russian media pointed out that many of these ** people are "Euroskeptics".
The so-called "Euroskeptics" refer to those who oppose the European Union, and in addition to blocking the borders of Ukraine, they also have a demand: to leave the European Union.
With the precedent of Brexit, Poland's choice to follow the EU's lead does not seem to be a difficult task.
Now Polish farmers have a very big opinion about the EU, because the EU has always ignored Poland's losses and insisted on providing various preferential policies for Ukraine, and Poland shares a border with Ukraine and has been affected more than other European countries.
Now even the peasants of Germany and France are beginning to **, and it is understandable that the Polish peasants, who have been hit most directly, have taken some radical approaches.
Considering that other groups in Poland have also made a fuss about Brexit, it is only possible to say that anything is possible if it really makes a big deal out of it.

Europe is exhausted
Although it is only Poland that has made a big stir at the moment, it is enough to reflect the European public's opinion on Ukraine.
As the Russia-Ukraine conflict continues, Europeans, including European politicians, are exhausted and their support for Ukraine is no longer firm.
Not to mention the 50 billion euros worth of aid to Ukraine just passed by the European Union, it fully demonstrates its distrust of Ukraine.
First of all, 33 billion euros of this money are paid to Ukraine through loans.
Secondly, the money is provided over many years, and it is not all for Ukraine.
Thirdly, Member States could request a review and if the conditions were not met, no funding would be provided.
If Ukraine still does not improve on the battlefield, it is only a matter of time before it is abandoned by the West.
