TL;DR Summary

Over 20,000 trucks are stuck at the Ukraine-Poland border as Polish drivers protest an EU deal granting Ukrainian trucks unlimited access to the bloc. The strikes follow a dispute earlier this year over cheap Ukrainian grain, which flowed into Europe through Poland, undercutting Polish farmers. Poland's support has been crucial to Ukraine's war effort, but fatigue and anti-Ukrainian sentiment are growing in Poland. The protesters demand the cancellation of visa-free transport, but Ukraine's Infrastructure Ministry says this is impossible. The organizers plan to allow one truck per hour to cross the border and exempt humanitarian aid shipments from obstruction.
