"Polish Farmers End Border Blockade with Ukraine Following Government Deal"

Polish truckers have created a 20-mile long blockade at the Dorohusk border crossing with Ukraine, protesting the EU's decision to lift limits on Ukrainian drivers and businesses entering Poland and the EU. The blockade, which has been in place for two months, is causing significant delays for thousands of trucks and has led to substantial economic losses for Ukraine. Polish truckers, like Leszek Stasiak, argue that the influx of Ukrainian drivers is threatening their livelihoods, while Ukrainian drivers stuck at the border are facing hardships due to long waits in freezing conditions. The Polish government is deferring to the EU for a resolution, while the truckers' protest continues amidst the backdrop of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

"Polish Farmers End Ukraine Border Protest Following Government Agreement"

Polish farmers have ceased their blockade of the Medyka-Shehyni border crossing with Ukraine after the government agreed to their financial support demands, although restrictions on Ukrainian imports were not included. The deal includes corn subsidies, fixed agricultural taxes, and increased loans, pending legislative approval and the European Commission's consent. Despite the agreement, farmers and Polish truckers continue to express concerns over the impact of Ukrainian imports and the potential EU membership of Ukraine on Poland's economy.

"Ongoing Protests Lead to Persistent Delays at Polish-Ukrainian Border"

Polish transport companies and farmers continue to protest at the Ukraine/Poland border, causing significant delays with over 3,000 trucks queued. The protests, which began in November, are a response to increased competition following the EU's decision to open borders for Ukrainian trade after Russia's invasion. The blockades are causing logistical challenges and delays in delivering crucial supplies, including drones for the Ukrainian military. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has indicated that negotiations may soon lead to a resolution that could ease the border tensions.
