Zelensky spoke sharply about the situation on the Polish border

Office of the President of Ukraine
Volodymyr Zelenskyi

According to President Volodymyr Zelenskyi, the situation with Polish farmers blocking the Ukrainian border has gone beyond economics and morality.

Zelensky criticizes Poland for the crisis situation on the border with Ukraine

The president noted that the Polish and Ukrainian sides should finally find a solution to unblock the border.

We need to finally find a solution to the situation, in particular, on the Polish border, which has long gone beyond the limits of both economics and morality. It is simply impossible to explain how the difficulties of a bleeding country can be used in an internal political struggle, the head of state noted.

Zelensky noted that Ukraine is ready to go through these trials, to persevere and achieve its goals, having won the criminal war unleashed by Russia.

What is known about the unofficial negotiations between Poland and the EU regarding the border crisis

The Deputy Head of the Polish Foreign Ministry, Andrzej Shejna, announced the informal negotiations between his country's representatives and the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, regarding the removal of a number of provisions from Polish farmers under the European Green Deal.

The Polish official noted that this would apply to "everything that is possible, both from the Green Deal and from the influx of products that cause a permanent disruption in the market of one or most countries."

If we manage to agree on Poland's demands in the EU, they will become a common position of the EU. I also want to say, and I'm quoting the Prime Minister here, if it takes too long, we will introduce changes, we will introduce unilateral border blockades and tariffs, Shane warned.

Polish farmers continue to block the border at six checkpoints:

  • "Yagodin";

  • "Ustylug";

  • "Ugrynov";

  • "Rava-Ruska";

  • "Sheghini";

  • "Krakowets".
