Summary

Headline: ‘They don’t want us’: the Ukrainian lorry drivers facing Polish blockades

Short Summary: Polish truckers are blockading key border crossings with Ukraine, causing severe delays for Ukrainian lorry drivers.

Description

Ukrainian lorry drivers are facing significant delays at the Polish border due to ongoing blockades conducted by Polish truckers. The blockades have resulted in queues stretching for many kilometers, affecting trade and movement across the border, especially at Medyka.

Evidence

Quotes

There is a sense of betrayal among some at the Medyka border crossing, where the queues are said to stretch 70km.

Thousands of Ukrainian trucks are stuck at crossings including Medyka and Dorohusk after protests by Polish truckers.

Polish hauliers have been blocking border crossings with Ukraine for several weeks, complaining about what they claim are unfair conditions since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion.

The result has been misery and frustration on both sides of the border.
