Polish farmers will help block the border with Ukraine from Thursday

“From November 23 to 26, 2023, from 9 to 20 hours, a protest will be organized. Its location will be the border crossing on the DK 28 national road,” the statement said.

Farmers are protesting against an influx of cheap food from Ukraine and supporting transporters' demands for the restoration of a permit system for Ukrainian commercial carriers, with exceptions for humanitarian aid and supplies for Ukrainian troops.

During the blocking, only official vehicles, vehicles with humanitarian aid and military cargo, as well as buses will be allowed through, the message says.

It was previously reported that approximately 100 farmers from the Betrayed Countryside association are planning to protest for three days at the Medyka border crossing on Thursday.

Polish carriers have been blocking the border for several weeks now. They demand the restoration of restrictions on transport operations for Ukrainian competitors. In Kyiv they announced that they were preparing lawsuits against the strikers.
