Protest organizers said only two trucks a day would be allowed through the border checkpoint.
Polish farmers who joined the blockade of carriers at the Ukrainian border are planning to extend their protest until January 3. Local publication Wiadomosci Rolnicze Polska reported this.
They initially planned to block the border crossings until Saturday, November 25, but now say the blockade will last 24 hours a day until January 3.
“We sold corn very cheaply, we lost 2 thousand zlotys per hectare. Costs per hectare were 5.5 thousand zlotys, and we received only 3.3 thousand. Liquidity loans, which to a certain extent supported us, was revoked so that we could continue To work as farmers. Unfortunately, the current government took these loans from us,” complained one of the organizers of the protest, Roman Kondrov.
According to him, the third requirement is “very simple” and the land tax should not increase for them.
“We stand in solidarity with the carriers because these industries have suffered the most,” he said.
According to him, from Monday to January 3, only two trucks per day will be allowed to pass through the border checkpoint. However, he claims that all humanitarian aid will flow to Ukraine without restrictions.
As is known, since November 6, on the Ukrainian-Polish border, due to a strike, the movement of trucks at the Krakovets-Korcheva, Rava-Russkaya-Grebnoye and Yagodin-Dorogusk checkpoints has been difficult. There are thousands of trucks in the queue. And now the strikers blocked the fourth checkpoint for trucks – Shegini. Polish carriers demand the abolition of transport visa-free travel for Ukraine.
We remind you that the media reported that Poland is facing sanctions from the EU for blocking the Ukrainian border.
