The Ministry of Reconstruction of Ukraine together with the new leadership of the Ministry of Infrastructure of Poland agreed on an action plan for unblocking the border .
As reported by the Ministry of Development of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure of Ukraine on Facebook , on December 22, Deputy Ministers of Development of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure of Ukraine Serhii Derkach and Yuri Vaskov met with the newly appointed Deputy Minister of Infrastructure of Poland Pawel Hancharz.
“The key result of the meeting is the agreement of common positions for unblocking the border. The parties reached an understanding on compromise solutions and their implementation. The next stage is negotiations at the level of the Ministry of Infrastructure of Poland and the protesters,” the message reads.
It is noted that the issue of changes to the current agreement on the liberalization of freight transportation is not being discussed.

Blocking the Polish-Ukrainian border – what is known
On November 6, 2023, Polish carriers began blocking the most important checkpoints on the border with Ukraine. Huge queues formed there, in which hundreds of trucks were stuck.
On December 19, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky suggested that the new Polish government would resolve the issue of the blockade of the Ukrainian border.

SLAVA BOGY!
The last time there was an agreement, the Polish truckers blocked the border again and with the tacit approval of the “new” Polish government. I hope this time, the blocking actually stops for good, but I will believe it when I see it.
It was obvious from the get go that this protest was done with the approval of the Polish governments, the old one and the new one. I’m a bit disappointed in the Poles for this stupid behavior. They endangered Ukraine’s fighting ability. Unless they want the roaches at their border, instead of Ukrainians, then they should never do this again.
Amen Sir Facts!
