Brussels threatens Poland with legal action over 'unacceptable' truckers blockade at Ukraine border

The situation at the Polish border with Ukraine has been deemed unacceptable by European Commissioner for transport Adina Vălean due to ongoing protests by Polish truckers and farmers blocking transit at various border crossings. This has led to significant disruptions, leaving thousands of Ukrainian truck drivers stranded in harsh conditions, with two drivers reported to have passed away inside their vehicles. The protests stem from demands to reinstate pre-war rules on Ukrainian truckers and address competition concerns between Polish and Ukrainian drivers. Despite efforts to resolve the situation, including talks with Ukrainian authorities, tensions persist with potential threats of further blockades from Slovak truckers. The need for dialogue and cooperation between all parties involved is crucial to finding a sustainable solution and ensuring the smooth flow of transportation across borders.
