Details: “The Embassy has urgently addressed another official note to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Poland, demanding that the movement of freight vehicles be unblocked. The appropriate signals were also communicated to the Ministry of the Interior and the Polish administration,” Zvarych wrote on Facebook.

The diplomat stressed that the Polish hauliers’ protest is putting people’s lives and health at risk and presents a significant danger to road safety, meaning that Poland could break up the gathering by law.

Quote: “We call on the Polish authorities to take decisive action to unblock the traffic and stop Ukrainian, Polish and foreign truck drivers from having to wait in multi-kilometre-long queues without proper conditions, being held hostage to the actions of the protest organisers.”
