In a marathon four-hour negotiation session with Polish Ministers of Development and Technology, Krzysztof Getman, and Agriculture, Czeslaw Scheckerski, Deputy Minister of Economy and Trade Representative of Ukraine, Taras Kachka, described it as "one of the most intense and intensive meetings" of his professional life on his Facebook page.
Kachka revealed, "We were able to find a common language and are working on a constructive solution to unblock the border and take into account the interests of farmers in Poland and Ukraine. It's not easy, but it's possible." The proposed approaches by Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal during his recent speech on the Polish-Ukrainian border were cited as crucial for building understanding.
Throughout the four-hour negotiations, the possibility of border closure was not discussed, as emphasized by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who noted that such a decision would be "very painful for our economies." Kachka stressed the economic significance, stating, "Stopping trading, even for a day, amounts to 11.7 billion annually, and transit, crucial for Ukraine, cannot be overlooked."
While details remain undisclosed, Kachka remains optimistic about reaching a constructive solution. He urged everyone to carefully consider Donald Tusk's statement, emphasizing the potential misdirection of news headlines. In a call for calm, Kachka affirmed, "At this moment, more than ever, we remain calm and work hard," as conveyed by the Press Service of the Association of Milk Producers.
