"We have a crucial minute in the Mercosur deal. We have reached the papers and analyses that indicate that Brazil has become the largest importer of fertilisers from Russia in fresh years.

"The European Union has stopped buying them, while it has begun buying Brazil on a immense scale, which is an average of 5 billion dollars a year. Thus, it can be said that it is Brazil – and we, wishing to sign with Mercosur – that we will buy drones and tanks for Putin – emphasizes in an interview with Newseria Waldemar Buda, a Euro MP from Law and Justice.

Brazil has become 1 of the main recipients of Russian fertilizers in fresh years, whose import reaches respective billion dollars per year.

The European Union trade agreement with the association of 4 South American countries - Mercosur is creating expanding controversy in the European Parliament. Euro MPs from the PiS point out that this will be indirect support for Russia and its war in Ukraine, as Brazil imports the most Russian fertilizers. Politicians argue that the discussion on ratification of the agreement was at a crucial moment. This argument can convince more countries than warnings about threats to farmers.

According to European Parliament data, Brazil has become 1 of the main recipients of Russian fertilizers in fresh years, whose import reaches respective billion dollars a year. The “Geopolitical aspects of the EU–Mercosur agreement” study indicates that the war in Ukraine and EU sanctions have led to shuffling on the fertilizer marketplace and Brazil has mostly replaced the Union in purchases from Russia. In 2024 trade between Brazil and Russia reached a historical evidence of $12.4 billion, and fertilizers accounted for 34 percent of Brazilian imports of Russian products. This dependence has not only economical but besides political consequences. Brazil, expanding purchases in Russia, de facto transfers respective billion dollars a year to Moscow, which strengthens its ability to finance the war in Ukraine.

Now we gotta say if we want to support Putin in the war in Ukraine

– We will now proceed to transmit these papers and data to all associate States. I think that anyone who rationally thinks not only about trading and profiting private companies, but besides about the safety and real twisting of Putin's cock with money, can change their head for completely different reasons than now. present we talk only about whether it pays off or not, and now we gotta say whether we want to support Putin in the war in Ukraine – Waldemar Buda evaluates.

The geopolitical importance of the agreement is besides demonstrated by fresh announcements by US president Donald Trump, who is considering introducing second-degree sanctions, i.e. duties on Russian trading partners. In this scenario, the European Union, erstwhile negotiating an agreement with Mercosur, could find itself in a trade conflict not only with South America but besides with the United States.

Importing cheaper beef, poultry or soya from South America could destabilise the EU food market

" Donald Trump talks about the anticipation of introducing second-degree sanctions, and the European Union wants to donate 20 billion to Brazil by buying food from them. This is simply a completely groundbreaking minute – emphasizes Waldemar Buda. "President Karol Nawrocki will be active in this initiative, who will usage this argument to convince our allies in the EU that we cannot buy drones and tanks for Putin.

According to the Euro MP, these issues may be more crucial to the destiny of the agreement than the erstwhile concerns about agriculture. The Polish Ministry of Agriculture and manufacture have for many months warned that the consequences for agrarian areas and consumers are equally serious. Importing cheaper beef, poultry or soybeans from South America could destabilise the EU food marketplace and endanger the food safety of the continent in the long term. The European Commission argues that the agreement is besides intended to open up fresh opportunities for EU farmers, including exports of processed products, dairy products or wines, but besides for the EU automotive industry. The Commission’s farmers are afraid that all goods imported into the EU must comply with EU sanitary and phytosanitary standards and, in addition, safeguard clauses are provided to limit imports in the event of marketplace destabilisation.
