Polish farmers intend to join the blockade of the Dorohusk checkpoint on the border with Ukraine, which will be closed today by Polish carriers. This was announced by the leader of the protesting carriers, Rafał Mekler, on Twitter.
Mekler said that farmers from the United Village organization will join the blockade on December 18. The blockade is scheduled to begin at 12:30 Kyiv time.
According to him, the farmers will join the blockade "because of the tragic situation on the Polish market caused by the uncontrolled supply of grain from Ukraine, the lack of prospects for improving the situation in the 2023 harvest and the lack of systemic solutions aimed at protecting the domestic market."
Polish farmers demand a ban on sugar imports from Ukraine, immediate payment of direct subsidies, and compensation to corn producers.
