The protest is scheduled to begin on March 1 at 10 a.m.

Protests by Polish farmers against the transit of Ukrainian grain are spreading. This week, farmers in the neighboring country are preparing for two new blockades: on the border between Poland and Germany in the town of Świecko and near Lithuania at the Kalwaria-Budzisk border checkpoint. LRT informs about this .

According to Karolis Pecinskis, who is organizing the blockade on the border with Lithuania, farmers will stop and physically check all vehicles that are likely to transport Ukrainian grain or other agricultural products.

“The protest action should begin on March 1 at 10 a.m. This will not be a complete blockade of the checkpoint. We, farmers, together with the Polish authorities, want to check what is being transported in trucks, paying special attention to those vehicles that have the potential to transport agricultural products. products,” said the initiator of the action.

  1. I’m amazed that all these “farmers” have got the time to protest so near to planting season in Europe.

    • Good point, Focusser. Polish police should arrest them all and check their ids! Enough already with this madness, it’s large scale coercion and certainly illegal under the law. Tusk needs to grow a spine and finally end this mini-rebellion by Putin-sympathizers! 😠

  2. Ukraine belongs in the Empire, not the EU. The EU can’t dig Ukraine’s economic potential. Euromaidan was for the ass from the very beginning.

          • Maybe. Fact is that those who want to risk the fall of Ukraine against a superior enemy by ignoring reality and wasting lives will not be judged well by the ukrainian people in the long run. Call me a traitor, jawoll! 🇺🇦

            • What “superior enemy”? The RuSSkies, with their five times higher casualty rate and ten times higher loss of tanks? Are you really calling for surrender now, just because of a temporary setback? You must be kidding, right? Ask your Ukrainian friends what they think of this. 🙄

              • I’m not calling for surrender, but serious negotiations as long as the front still holds. The only reason Odesa and Kyiv did not yet end up like Mariupol is the ruSSians consider them part of their cultural heritage. I’m more than happy with what’s left of Ukraine in Nato and the western block. Btw, will you join the volunteers or just keep raping your keyboard? Ever experienced a war? I did. Saving lives is priority #1. Cheers! 🇺🇦

                • Come on, Mike, such a negotiation would lead to the same result as last time. Putin would use the break to arm up and then try again. Ukrainuans have been there, done that, That’s no solution at all.

                    • Nope. And Putin would insist on the same conditions again. So, what’s the difference? You expect a different outcome this time?

                    • There’s only one nation on this planet that could force RuSSia to its knees, and unfortunately it’s not Ukraine. Period.

  3. Not “one nation”, Mike, a group of nations. Nato! And that’s why Ukraine won’t lose. It just takes some more months to get defence production up. The situation at the end of the year will be much different. 🤨
