The thorny issue of how to get grain out of Ukraine — and help farmers in the country’s direct EU neighbors compete with a glut of cheap grain — is threatening to shake the 27-nation bloc’s unity in supporting Kyiv as it battles Russia’s invasion. Europe’s economic powerhouse, Germany, opposes moves to use EU money to support the transport sector.
