Border blockade with Poland
Since February 9, the Polish side has reinstated a blockade at the border with Ukraine. Farmers began protests both on the roads of the country and at border crossings with Ukraine. It is expected that the blockade will last at least until the end of the current month.
Meanwhile, Ukraine, Poland, and the European Union have held negotiations regarding the grain issue. The meeting was attended by the Prime Minister of Ukraine, Denys Shmyhal, and his Polish counterpart, Donald Tusk. According to the Prime Minister, Kyiv has outlined five steps aimed at resolving the issue. In particular, it is expected that new talks will take place in a narrow format soon, and in a broader format next month.
