What is known about the protests of Polish farmers
Polish protesters have been blocking checkpoints in Ukraine for more than a month. In this way, they seem to oppose the expansion of duty-free import of agricultural food products from Ukraine.
It got to the point that aggressive protesters even dumped Ukrainian grain from trucks and wagons.
At the beginning of April, it was reported that the Poles extended the border blockade to the "Ugryniv-Dolgobychuv" checkpoint.
At the same time, the Polish president, Andrzej Duda, said that the problem of Polish farmers blocking movement on the Polish-Ukrainian border is very serious and, therefore, cannot be solved so quickly. He emphasised that Brussels decided to lift restrictions on food imports from Ukraine to the EU and expressed regret that this has consequences outside of Ukraine, including in Poland.
According to him, Poland is mainly an agricultural country, and suddenly, the Polish market was flooded with agricultural products from Ukraine.
