Poland will add border crossings with Ukraine, as well as sections of highways and railways, to the list of critical infrastructure. This will remove obstacles at the border for the supply of weapons and humanitarian aid, according to Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
He notes that Poland must ensure full border capacity for military supplies and humanitarian aid.
"Therefore, to provide a 100 percent guarantee that military aid, equipment, ammunition, and humanitarian aid will reach the Ukrainian side without any delays, we will include the checkpoints with Ukraine and the specified sections of roads and railways in the list of critical infrastructure," Tusk says.
The Polish prime minister emphasizes that "this is a matter of the next few hours."
Tusk explains that the innovation "will mean a different type of organizational regime at border crossing points and on access roads and tracks to the border with Ukraine."
Border blockade
In February, protests on the Polish-Ukrainian border resumed. Farmers have been blocking the checkpoints, and recently they announced a "total blockade" of the border and began pouring out Ukrainian grain.
Yesterday, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a conference call on the situation at the border and then invited Polish President Andrzej Duda and Prime Minister Donald Tusk to meet at the border.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced that a meeting between the two governments would take place on March 28 in Warsaw.
