Polish farmers joined the strike of carriers and went to the Ukrainian-Polish border to protest, promising to block the border until January. This was reported by Wiadomosci Rolnicze Polska, according to UNN.
Details
Initially, the farmers promised to block the border crossing until Saturday, but now they say that the blockade will last around the clock until January 3.
We sold corn very cheaply, we lose 2 thousand zlotys on each hectare. The costs per hectare are 5.5 thousand zlotys, and we received only 3.3 thousand. Liquidity loans, which supported us to some extent, were withdrawn so that we could continue to function as farmers. Unfortunately, the outgoing government has taken these loans away from us
Addendum
In addition, they demand that the government not increase the land tax. Kondrov said that from Monday to January 3, only 2 trucks a day would be allowed to cross the border.
At the same time, he assured that all humanitarian aid would be allowed to enter Ukraine without restrictions.
As a reminder
At the Shehyni checkpoint on the Polish-Ukrainian border , truck traffic has been hampered since this morning due to the expansion of the blockade launched by Polish carriers.
