On Sunday, February 25, Polish farmers resumed their protest at the Ustyluh-Zosyn checkpoint on the border with Ukraine.
This was announced by the spokesman for the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, Andriy Demchenko, during the telethon, Espresso.Zakhid reports.
As of the morning of February 25, the blocking of traffic by Polish farmers continues in six directions. As a result, there are about 2,400 trucks waiting in lines.
“Mostly in front of the Krakivets, Rava-Ruska and Yahodyn checkpoints. Indeed, yesterday, in the direction of the Ustyluh checkpoint, they symbolically began to refuse to block the movement of trucks. In general, we have seen a certain revival, but it does not affect the situation in general,” said Demchenko.
It is worth noting that the movement of buses and cars is not currently blocked at any of the checkpoints.
- To recap, on February 24, Polish protesters temporarily stopped blocking the Ustyluh-Zosyn checkpoint in connection with the anniversary of the beginning of the full-scale war in Ukraine.
Why Poles are blocking the Ukrainian border
As a reminder, the so-called “Polish farmers,” supported by local radicals and Russian money, began blocking the border with Ukraine for all traffic in early February. The protesters claim that because Ukrainians are exporting their agricultural products to Europe, Polish farmers have lost money.
Unfortunately, using some politicians and the Polish government, protesters are robbing Ukrainians at the border with impunity and pouring Ukrainian grain onto roads and railroad tracks. Of course, the Polish police are not responding.
The provocations are supported by the Russians and are being fanned by pro-Russian forces to create a negative information background in European countries in order to create the image that Ukraine alone is to blame for all the economic woes of Europe. After all, Ukrainians did not surrender to Russia and thus provoked economic tensions in Europe and the world.
