The diplomat noted that, out of love for her homeland, she cannot pretend that she does not see the “shameful actions” at the border. She expressed her conviction that this could not be the work of her compatriots and apologized to the Ukrainians for the actions of her fellow countrymen. She wrote about this on the social network Facebook.
Dzvonkiewicz recalled the events of the Warsaw Uprising of 1944, which she learned as a teenager. Then the Soviet authorities did not allow Allied planes to land on territories under their control. And then the aid intended for the rebels, completely accidentally dropped from these planes on the outskirts of Warsaw, ended up in the hands of the Germans.
As a teenager, I was convinced that only Russians could calmly watch other nations bleed, that we Poles would never do anything like that,” she wrote.
The diplomat noted that she apologizes not to the demands of Polish farmers, but to the forms of protest that they staged.
Shame and shame. Sorry, Ukraine, which is at war, I apologize,” the Consul General apologized.
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.
In particular, as of February 21, six checkpoints were blocked: Medika-Shegini, Dolgobychuv-Ugrinov, Zosin-Ustilug, Korcheva-Krakovets, Grebene-Rava-Russkaya, Dorogusk-Yagodin “.
Near some checkpoints, the Poles are threatening to block traffic for all types of transport, and have even blocked one section of the railway. There, farmers poured Ukrainian grain from freight cars that was en route to Germany in transit through Poland.
One of the protesters went to the rally with a USSR flag and an appeal to the Russian dictatorship. He attached a poster to the tractor with a call: “Putin, restore order with Ukraine and Brussels, and with our officials.” The police subsequently removed the payment from the equipment, and the farmer himself was detained. A criminal case has been opened against him.
