Polish drivers blocked the movement of trucks because of the largest checkpoint on the border with Ukraine.
Polish protesters are demanding the return of permits for international road freight transport for Ukrainian carriers at the entrance to Poland. We are also talking about the application of the Euro-4 environmental standard to Ukrainian carriers, which in Ukraine is applied to Polish carriers.
The Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine also turned to the Polish colleagues with a request to resolve the current situation.
The checkpoint in Yagodina is important for Ukraine, since it provides about 40% of the cargo flow to Poland.
Blocking the border entails a critical situation for export. We consider today’s strike to be artificial and contrary to common European aspirations and values,” said Alexander Kubrakov, Vice Prime Minister for Reconstruction, and called the strike “artificial”.
In the meantime, the electronic queue at the MCHP “Yagodin” froze. Due to the protest action of Polish carriers, approximately 300 trucks are now waiting to cross the border and their number is increasing, the Volyn customs reported. Carriers are advised to go to other checkpoints.
Buses will pass in both directions as usual.
Earlier, Deputy Economy Minister Taras Kachka said that Ukraine, due to similar protests by Polish farmers, which he called a bluff, experienced $143 million. damage.
