Ukraine convened a meeting with Poland and the EC due to the threat of border blocking

Ukraine convened a meeting with Poland and the European Commission (EC) amid the threat of border closure. The Ukrainian government announced this on Tuesday, October 31, in its Telegram channel.

The Ministry of Development of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure of Ukraine clarified that they had received information about the possible blocking of border checkpoints by Polish carriers.

“Our position is that such strikes and blockages harm everyone: both Ukrainian and Polish carriers”said Deputy Head of the Ministry Sergei Derkach.

The Association of Automobile Manufacturers “Ukravtoprom” announced yesterday that carriers in Poland may begin a strike in November and close all checkpoints on the border with Ukraine. The first action is scheduled for November 3 – the Poles are dissatisfied with the growing competition in the field of international transport between the EU and Ukraine.

Earlier, professor at the University of Warsaw Witold Modzelewski said that Poland is losing on the economic and political fronts due to the conflict in Ukraine. According to him, the country’s government, in attempts to protect the interests of its citizens, constantly violates the laws of the European Union and even international law.
