Ukrainian diplomats drew attention to the fact that farmers are blocking the border with Ukraine for reasons that have nothing to do with Ukraine.
The Ukrainian Embassy in Poland said the blockade of the Ukrainian border by Polish farmers “due to demands that have nothing to do with Ukraine” looks “like a particularly painful irony” on Memorial Day. Victim of the Holodomor. The Embassy published the corresponding comment on Saturday, November 23.
It was noted that such actions not only harm the economic interests of both countries, but also “play into the hands of those who seek to sow discord between Ukrainians and Poles.”
“It is very important now that our neighbors in Poland, who are well aware of the severity of historical traumas, show solidarity and jointly seek solutions that satisfy the interests of both sides, without ignoring the memory of the tragedies of the past,” the commentary said.
The embassy also emphasized that Ukraine, which once “experienced this terrible tragedy” and is now suffering “bloody aggression by the Russian Federation, is also forced to fight to maintain its paths of unity with our partners in the West.”
Let us remind you that today Polish farmers have started a new protest at the border with Ukraine. The medic-Shegini checkpoint is blocked for trucks. The farmers protested for two reasons. The first of these is the failure to comply with the requirement to maintain the agricultural tax level in 2024 at the level of 2023. The second reason is the concern about the EU signing a free trade agreement with countries in South America.
The State Border Guard Service reported earlier in the day that about 20 trucks were lined up in front of the Polish border.
