Chaos at the Polish-Ukraine border as row over transport permits continues
The blockade against Ukrainian trucks has created lengthy queues, causing significant disruption, worsened by winter conditions, Euronews reports.
Continuing protests at the Poland-Ukraine border by transport companies and truck drivers, with farmers now joining in. The blockade against Ukrainian trucks has created lengthy queues, causing significant disruption, worsened by winter conditions.
One of the main complaints by Polish transport company owners is the scrapping of permits for drivers from Ukraine in order to prevent transport disruption.
The second important issue is with the European Commission and its restrictions on the number of trucks transiting Ukraine and the EU; they were changed to help Ukraine after the Russian invasion.
After a month of protest at the borders with Ukraine, Poles have now been joined by truck drivers in Slovakia. On December 4, Ukraine and Poland agreed to open an additional border crossing, but only for empty trucks.
