Renewed blockades by Polish farmers have led to long queues of trucks at Poland’s border crossings with Ukraine. On the Polish side of the Medyka crossing, trucks were stuck in a 42-kilometer-long traffic jam, local police said, according to the PAP news agency. The waiting time until clearance is 14 days.
According to customs, there were 550 trucks at the time before the Dorohusk crossing. There you have to expect a waiting time of more than ten days. At the Korczowa and Hrebenne crossings the waiting time was five days each.
Polish farmers are protesting across the country against EU agricultural policy, but also against the import of cheap agricultural products from Ukraine. The protests are scheduled to continue until March 10th.
