According to the president, news from the western border causes misunderstanding, especially among those in the trenches near Kupyansk. The official explained that Ukraine exports only 5% of its total grain volume to the Polish border.
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said that what is happening on the border of Ukraine and Poland cannot be considered something ordinary, because the news coming from the western border near Kupyansk, where enemy artillery has not decreased, looks like a mockery. He said this in his evening video message.
“We need simple and understandable justice. Only 5% of our agricultural exports pass through the Polish border. So it’s not about grain, it’s about politics,” the President said.
Events on the western border showed “the erosion of solidarity”; Therefore, in order to get out of the current situation, Polish authorities and the European Union need joint rational decisions.
Let us also remind that Polish farmers decided to completely close the Ukrainian border. In response, Ukrainian carriers will close three checkpoints: Rava-Russkaya, Krakovets and Shegini. The promotion will continue until at least March 15.
It was also reported that the complete blockade of the border is fraught with serious losses for Ukraine. According to Daniil Getmantsev, chairman of the tax committee of the Verkhovna Rada, if border checkpoints do not return to normal operation by the end of February, Ukraine will have a deficit of more than 7 billion hryvnia in its budget.
