The State Border Service warns of a possible blockade of all checkpoints on the Polish-Ukrainian border after December 10. Farmers demand that the Polish authorities reduce taxes and restrict imports.

The State Border Service does not rule out that in December Polish farmers may start blocking all crossing points on the Polish-Ukrainian border. This was announced by the speaker of the State Border Service Andrey Demchenko on the air of the telethon, reports UNN.

On Sunday, Polish farmers stopped blocking the direction of the state of emergency  "Shegini - Medika "in the evening. But in fact, what we see from open sources, they announce that they can resume blocking in this direction as well. We cannot rule out that this may spread to other checkpoints as well. We hope that this will not happen, because Polish farmers in the Polish authorities demand to reduce the tax, prevent agreements on goods from other countries, but in fact block the border with Ukraine, this is in order to attract some support so that their demands are heard

Demchenko said.

He noted that as of now, traffic is normal for cargo vehicles.

"For this category of transaort, Polish farmers restrict movement across the border when they hold their actions," Demchenko added.

On November 24, in the evening, trucks were allowed to pass through the Shegini - Medika checkpoint.

However, Polish farmers later began threateningthat  they would block all crossing points on the Polish-Ukrainian border after December 10 if the government did not comply with their demands.
