The Consul General of Poland reacted to the protests of Polish farmers
According to the diplomat, she can no longer remain silent and pretend that she does not notice "these shameful actions of Poland" on the Polish-Ukrainian border.
I apologize to you, dear Ukrainian friends. What is happening cannot be the work of my compatriots.

In addition, she recalled the events of the Warsaw Uprising.
According to Eliza Dzwonkiewicz, she used to think that only the Russians, who refused the landing of allied planes with help for Warsaw, could behave so shamefully.
And what do "Polish" farmers and transporters do today? I don't believe they are Poles... A real Pole would never stab a neighbor in the back who is fighting for freedom. It is not a matter of demands, but of a form of protest. Shame and shame. I apologise to warring Ukraine, I'm sorry, says the statement of the Consulate General of Poland.

On February 20, the protests of Polish farmers at the border began to gain momentum again.

Reacting to these provocations, Ukrainian carriers started a protest near the Rava—Ruska—Grebenne, Krakivets—Korchova, and Shegyni—Medika railway stations.
In addition, it is emphasized that the co-leader of the Polish protests threatened the possible blocking of passenger transportation in response to actions from the Ukrainian side.
