"Polish Truckers and Farmers Clash with Government Over Ukraine Border Blockades"

Polish farmers are set to resume their blockade at the Medyka border crossing with Ukraine to demand government subsidies and prevent tax hikes, despite a temporary suspension over the holidays. The protest, which also includes Polish truck drivers seeking the reinstatement of a reciprocal permit system with the EU for Ukrainian companies, has been ongoing since November. Prime Minister Donald Tusk is attempting to resolve the situation, emphasizing the challenges posed by the blockade amid tensions with Russia.

"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.
