Details
The protesters will spend the holidays blockading the border and have already drawn up the corresponding schedule of duties, she clarified. She also said that the strikers would only allow one commercial truck to pass every three hours, not three every hour, as is the case now.
At the same time, Polish Minister of Infrastructure Dariusz Klimczak, who met with the strikers, said that to solve the problem at the the border, it is necessary to revise the trade agreement between Ukraine and the EU. Klimchak emphasized that the provisions of the agreement between Ukraine and the EU are very general, which led to the fact that Polish carriers were forced out of the market and lost orders.
Recall
