"At the Medyka freight station, Polish protesters opened the hatch of two Ukrainian freight cars containing grain. The Ukrainian cargo is heading to Germany in transit through Poland," UZ reported on social media.
Ukrzaliznytsia emphasized the inadmissibility of Polish protesters interfering with the railroad.
The company said that "Ukrzaliznytsia strictly adheres to the ban on grain imports to the Republic of Poland introduced in April 2023 and only transits these cargoes through the territory of the neighboring country." "All railcars at the border are checked by Polish regulatory authorities and sealed. This makes it impossible for Ukrainian grain to enter the Polish market," UZ said.
It is noted that about 40 Ukrainian freight cars with agricultural products are currently awaiting transshipment at the station.
Polish Railways and the Embassy of Ukraine in Poland were informed of the unauthorized interference with the railroad. Ukrzaliznytsia is outraged by such actions of the Polish protesters and calls for an end to illegal actions. Such actions do not contribute to solving possible problems but play into the hands of the aggressor country. The company has now sent a corresponding appeal to the Polish law enforcement agencies
"Passenger trains to the Republic of Poland and back are currently running on schedule," UZ said.
Addendum
Earlier, Polish protesters had already blocked passenger train #119 Kyiv-Chelm and tried to block two freight trains, UZ said.
