Poland plans to introduce a special regime at checkpoints and roads near the border with Ukraine

Warsaw intends to take special control of road sections leading to checkpoints on the border with Ukraine. This was announced by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.

“We will include checkpoints on the border with Ukraine and adjacent sections of highways and railways in the list of critical infrastructure,” he said.

According to him, “this is a matter of the next few hours”.

The Prime Minister also emphasized that the Polish side would continue negotiations with both Ukraine and the EU to convey its point of view to them. In particular, he said, a joint meeting of the governments of Poland and Ukraine will be held in Warsaw on March 28.

Tusk added that there was no need for him to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to resolve the situation at the border.

As reported, the day before, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy released a video message calling on the Polish government to hold a meeting to resolve the problem at the state border.

“I want to appeal to the Polish government – to Mr. Prime Minister Tusk and the ministers. I have instructed our government to be on the border between our countries as soon as possible, by February 24. The Prime Minister of Ukraine, our entire government, from logistics to the agricultural sector, and, of course, the Minister of Defense of Ukraine, because this blockade on the border, unfortunately, adds to the threats to the supply of weapons to our guys at the front. And I ask you, Donald, Mr. Prime Minister, to come to the border as well,” Zelenskyy said.

He added that he was ready to personally attend the meeting and called on the European Commission to send a representative.
