Ukrainian carriers to launch retaliatory protest on Polish border

On February 15, starting at 09:00 am, Ukrainian carriers will protest the Ukrainian customs near the Yahodyn-Dorogusk checkpoint to draw the attention of the European business community.

“Due to the blockade and arbitrariness of Polish farmers at the border. Ukrainian international carriers cannot stand aside because they are the arteries of the economy. Therefore, we demand equal conditions for economic cooperation,” the public organization International Road Carriers of Ukraine said on Facebook.

It is noted that in response, Ukrainian carriers announced a peaceful protest action “Ukraine = Poland” at the Yahodyn-Dorogusk checkpoint.

The head of the public organization “Carriers of the Western Region” Vitaliy Kotsenko, the protesters will not allow Polish carriers crossing the Yahodyn-Dorogusk checkpoint into Ukraine.

“They will stay here with us in their cars until our Ukrainian carriers start to cross. After all, they let one car through per hour, and it is not a Ukrainian, but a Polish driver,” Kotsenko said.

According to him, the duration of the protests by Ukrainian carriers will depend on the situation on the Polish side of the border.
