‘Negotiations were not easy but we have a result’ says Mykola Solsky after ending of months-long blockade by Polish protesters
Polish farmers stopped protesting at the last blocked border crossing with Ukraine on Monday, Kyiv and Warsaw said, suspending a blockade that has dragged on for months and soured bilateral relations, writes Reuters. According to the news agency, Ukraine’s farm minister hailed “constructive work” by Poland to lift the blockade in a statement, saying negotiations with Warsaw and industry associations had not been easy but that “the main thing is that we have a result”.
“Fortunately, we have all directions on the border with Poland unblocked,” Ukrainian border guard spokesperson Andriy Demchenko said, adding that Polish farmers had freed access to the Rava-Ruska crossing. Trucks had started crossing the border in both directions on Monday morning, he said. Polish border guard spokesperson Andrzej Juzwiak told Reuters access via all crossings to Ukraine was “without hindrance”.
