Polish farmers realized that Russian special services are using protest – Ministry of Economy of Ukraine
Polish farmers have realized that their protest is being used by Russian special services to incite ethnic hatred between Ukrainians and Poles.
This was stated by Taras Kachka, Deputy Minister of Economy of Ukraine, during a telethon.
“The good thing is that farmers have realized that their protests are being used by radical politicians and Russian special services who are trying to create the impression of ethnic hatred between Ukrainians and Poles,” the Ministry of Economy representative said.
He also noted that the protest leaders admitted that they were being used and added that the Polish government is already investigating these incidents. The official noted that thanks to negotiations between Ukrainian diplomats and the Polish government, farmers’ demands are becoming more rational.
Kaczka explained that the Polish government was able to convince farmers that in products such as wheat, they are competing not with Ukrainian, but with Russian wheat. And not on the territory of Poland, but in the region.
He also noted that the blockade of the border harms Poland more than Ukraine.
Currently, in Poland, farmers continue to block the movement of trucks at the checkpoints of Uhryniv, Yahodyn, Ustyluh, Rava-Ruska, Krakivets, and Shehyni. On Friday, March 1, protesters completely blocked truck traffic at the Shehyni checkpoint.
