The Ministry of Reconstruction has fulfilled all agreements to prevent the resumption of the blockade of the border with Ukraine by Polish carriers. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development of Ukraine.
As noted, the Ukrainian agency does not stop the dialogue with the Ministry of Infrastructure of Poland on the issues of blocking the border, in particular by Polish carriers.
In particular, on Tuesday, February 27, Deputy Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine Serhiy Derkach had another conversation with his Polish counterpart Paweł Gancarz.
"We are receiving signals that carriers are allegedly joining the blockade of Polish farmers. The latter suspended their protest after reaching an agreement with the Polish Ministry of Infrastructure. Part of these agreements included points agreed to by our Ministry. We kept our word and fulfilled everything we promised. Colleague assured me that they are doing everything in their power to prevent the carriers from resuming their protest. The issues that have not yet been resolved are the responsibility of the Polish Ministry of Infrastructure," said Derkach.
He also informed the Polish side about the recorded cases when some trucks pass to Ukraine without queues, bypassing the blockade. The Ministry of Reconstruction records such cases and expects an official response.
During the conversation, the Deputy Minister emphasized that the issue of extending the "transport visa-free regime" is important and urgent for Ukraine.
Therefore, the Ministry of Recovery has appealed to the European Commission to speed up the process of preparing for the extension of the Liberalization Agreement, to hold relevant meetings and negotiations.
At the same time, it is noted that even if the carriers do not return to the border, the situation remains difficult due to the blockade by farmers and has already gone beyond the limits of civilized protest. Currently, more than two thousand trucks remain blocked on the Polish side of the border.
