"People in Despair": Polish farmers attacked a Ukrainian grain wagon (video)

The co -organizer of the protest of Polish farmers Roman Kondra was told reporters that no one could influence the actions of protesters. "This is a reaction to the influx of grain from Ukraine. It is very bad. People in despair and cannot hold back emotions. No one controls it: neither the Polish authorities nor the Ukrainian," he said. It is reported that shortly after the Poles poured grain from the freight wagon, police arrived at the checkpoint "Medica - Shehyni".

The protesters unlocked the railway about half an hour after the incident. According to information of the Western Regional Directorate of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, the most difficult situation with the cross section of the border, as of 12:00 on February 20, is observed at the checkpoint "Nizhankovichi", where 500 trucks are concentrated in the queue. "Only trucks with a maximum weight of more than 7.

5 tons are passed, without cargo (except tanks, for dangerous goods, including PMMs)," the message reads. There is no pedestrian pass from Ukraine, according to the department. Up to enter Ukraine as of 13:00 on February 20, you can see at a screenshot from the site "Echerga". We will remind, since February 9 Poles continue a 30-day strike near the Ukrainian border.

In the Polish Independent Trade Union, Solidarity promised that on February 20, Polish carriers and farmers will stop the operation of all checkpoints on the Polish-Ukrainian border jointly. "Not only border crossings, but also communications and entrances to reloading railway stations and seaports will be blocked," the trade union statement reads. The reason for the Polish blockade is the inefficient EU agrarian policy.
