Blocking border with Ukraine isn’t decision of Polish authorities, but of farmers – Duda
Polish President Andrzej Duda has said that blocking the border with Ukraine is not the solution of the Polish authorities, but farmers, in its turn, the government is trying to solve this problem.
"Blocking the border is not a decision of the Polish authorities, it's just a decision made by farmers and farming organizations," Duda said on the air of the national telethon.
The Polish President hopes that the issue with farmers can be resolved through negotiations.
At the same time, Duda noted that after the Polish authorities opened grain corridors for the transit of Ukrainian grain, the number of agricultural products transported through Poland from Ukraine increased 300 times.
The interview had been recorded before February 20, when Polish striking farmers near the Medyka-Shehyni checkpoint opened a cargo container with agricultural products and dumped it on the ground.
