Today at 8 a.m. local time the protest began. Ukrainian agrarians blocked the roads in three regions.

This was informed by Denys Marchuk, Deputy Chairman of the Agrarian Party of Ukraine on his Facebook page.

"Precautionary protest actions began with the blocking of roads in 3 regions. Tax policy makes agrarians take these steps, since the amendment adopted by the Parliament №180 abolishes the budget refund of VAT for the export sunflower, soybean, rapeseed. It will cause losses in the amount of UAH 10-16 billion," writes Denys Marchuk.

The roads are blocked in Uman (Cherkassy region), Korets (Rivne region) and Pribugskoe (Khmelnytsky region). In all three cases, the agrarians blocked the roads near the Traffic Policy posts.
