Ukraine is plunging into a fuel shortage: the consequences of the blockade of the Polish border

The blockade of Polish carriers on the border with Ukraine has led to problems with the supply of fuel in Ukraine.

This was reported to the Ministry of Agrarian Policy.

During the telethon on November 25, the Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine Markiyan Dmitrasevich said that the situation at the border is not critical for grain exports. Now Ukraine can export food products by rail and through ports

However, the blockade of the Polish borders still brought its dire consequences.

“The movement of our trucks across the Ukrainian-Polish border is blocked. And it is clear that this reduces the level of food exports...However, we see problems with such important supplies as, for example, fuel for Ukraine. This also needs to be taken into account,” adds Dmitrasevich.

Blockade of Polish borders

Let us remind you that on November 6, Polish carriers blocked the border with Ukraine. As a result of a strike by Polish carriers, today, November 6, difficulties in truck movement began to be observed at three border points on the Polish side.

Poland blocks the movement of trucks from Ukraine. The day before, the Poles began a strike at three checkpoints, called to cancel the “transport visa-free” for trucks from Ukraine. Poland does not accept trucks from Ukraine through the Yagodin checkpoint.

Polish farmers who joined the blockade of carriers on the border with Ukraine plan to extend their protest until January 3. Wiadomosci Rolnicze Polska reports that they initially planned to block the border crossing until Saturday, but now say the blockade will last 24 hours a day until January 3.
