But the EU has already opened its market to certain goods from Ukraine, including food. They do not have to meet the same strict standards, so their lower prices can easily push European producers out of the market. It is also worth mentioning that we end up consuming thesee products which is … I don’t know what to say.
Ukrainian producers do not necessarily have to follow all the same animal welfare and environmental production standards as EU farmers. As you said, they may also use certain pesticides that are not approved for use in the EU.
I should also mention that Poland introduced an embargo on certain Ukrainian agricultural products despite opposition from Brussels. We are still an independent country, and we will protect our farmers and our food standards. As a vegan, I also want to know that animals are treated as well as possible, but that is my personal point of view.

can you elaborate what’s wrong with them? Are they just lower standard, use worse pesticides, etc? A search yields nothing relevant

I am definitely not an expert on this topic, so I recommend looking up the sources yourself. :)
