Quote: “It is necessary to finally find a solution to the situation, in particular, on the Polish border, which has long gone beyond [any limits of] both economics and morality.

It is impossible to explain how the difficulties that a bleeding country faces can be used in an internal political struggle. However, we will overcome this.

I am confident that Ukraine is able to withstand [the pressure], achieve its goals and defeat Russian terror. Together we can ensure this.”

Background:

  • Numerous farmers’ protests have been ongoing all over Poland for a few days. The participants block the roads, motorways and border checkpoints at the border with Ukraine. The farmers stand against the excessive influx of Ukrainian goods, as well as against the European policy connected to the so-called Green Deal of the EU.
  • Earlier, it was reported that Ukrainian drivers and Polish police, who blocked them at the Korczowa border crossing, managed to settle the dispute with the help of Ukrainian diplomats.
  • On 3 March, the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine reported that all six checkpoints on the Ukrainian-Polish border continue to be blocked, with drivers of more than 2,400 lorries waiting to cross into Ukraine from Poland.
