On February 21, the head of state held a conference call with Deputy Prime Minister Olga Stefanishina, ministers Dmitry Kuleba, Alexander Kubrakov, and Nikolai Solsky. They discussed the situation that had arisen at the border due to Polish protesters. He reported about Zelensky on social networks.
We analyzed the situation in detail and determined the next steps. “They will be there very quickly,” the president promised.
The Ukrainian leader also stressed that trade liberalization with the European Union must continue. In addition, unity must be strong for the sake of common security and the safety of all countries threatened by Russian aggression.
Let us remind you that Polish carriers, and then farmers, began to block the movement of Ukrainian trucks in the fall of 2023. The apogee of the border blocking occurred in February of this year, because protesters not only blocked the border, but spilled Ukrainian grain from trucks and wagons.
As of February 21, six checkpoints on the border with Ukraine were blocked: Medika-Shegini, Dolgobychev-Ugrinov, Zosin-Ustilug, Korcheva-Krakovets, Grebene-Rava-Russkaya, Dorogusk- Yagodin” Farmers are announcing long-term actions if the Polish authorities and the European Union do not fulfill their demands.
Ukrainian carriers respond by blocking the passage of cars from Poland.
