Negotiations thwarted by NABU are showing up - Poles again threaten Ukrainians with blocking the border

Polish farmers are once again threatening to block all checkpoints on the border with Ukraine. The large-scale actions are planned to resume after December 10, reports TOKFM.pl, writes UNN.

This weekend, Polish protesters again blocked the Medyka-Szegyni border crossing. In particular, they are demanding that the government keep the agricultural tax for farmers in 2024 at the level of last year and expect the authorities to strongly oppose the free trade agreement between the EU and South America. Polish Minister of Agriculture Czeslaw Sekerski came to the talks with the farmers and promised to prepare a response to their demands. As a result, the protests were suspended until December 10.

As you know, since the beginning of this year, Ukraine's negotiations with Poland on unblocking the borders have been quite dynamic and even had an unstable but positive effect. These negotiations were led by former Minister of Agrarian Policy Mykola Solsky.

However, by coincidence, when Poland and Ukraine had almost reached an agreement, the NABU “loudly” announced that Mykola Solsky was involved in the alleged illegal privatization of land by ATO soldiers.

Immediately after this statement, the Poles used a formal pretext and withdrew from negotiations with Ukraine. Since then, the negotiations have been suspended.

Therefore, it is possible that the public suspicion of Solsky was a deliberate plan to disrupt negotiations with the Poles, which was implemented through the NABU, which has financial support from other countries.

Recall

This refers to a criminal proceeding in which NABU detectives and SAPO prosecutors accuse, in particular, former Minister Mykola Solskyi of organizing the seizure of land of the National Agrarian Academy in Sumy region to transfer it to the ATO military. According to the version of the detectives, these lands were allegedly used by state-owned enterprises of the National Agricultural Academy (Iskra and Nadiya), and therefore could not be transferred to the ATO military.

Despite the fact that the proceedings themselves raise more questions than answers - some call it political persecution - the reasonable timeframe for the investigation has long been exhausted, as it concerns the events of 2017, when Solsky was a lawyer.

The Supreme Court and expert examinations ruledthat the NABU's accusations were false, as the land plots in question did not belong to the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences and could therefore be privatized by the ATO military on legal grounds, under the right granted to them by the state.

At the same time, detectives tried to hide and cancel the examination ordered by NABU in this case. There is a possibility that it could have proved the innocence of Solsky and the ATO soldiers. The ATO soldiers themselves are outraged by such actions of the NABU and are ready to prove the legitimacy of their actions.
