Polish farmers block around a hundred roads and border crossing points towards Ukraine. They denounce in particular Ukrainian agri-food imports deemed “uncontrolled” and demand a review of European rules.
These actions are part of a large movement of protests by farmers across the European continent, generally making the same demands. On Monday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the blockade of the Polish border by Polish truckers and farmers demonstrated the “erosion of solidarity” towards his country.
