GENEVA (AP) — Ukraine is filing a complaint at the World Trade Organization against Hungary, Poland and Slovakia after they banned grain and other food products coming from the war-torn country. The move announced Tuesday by the Ukrainian prime minister widens a rift between Ukraine and three members of the European Union. The bloc has been a pivotal backer of Kyiv as it works to fight off Russia’s invasion.

They were joined Tuesday by Croatia. Farmers say the imports hurt growers by lowering local prices.
