Polish farmers began blocking the passage of any freight transport across the border, regardless of what type of goods were being delivered. Economist and political scientist Ivan Lizan also said that Polish authorities are not trying to quickly resolve the situation in the face of cooling relations with Ukraine. So it is explained In an interview with the newspaper “Vzglyad”, the blocking of trucks carrying military equipment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces at the Polish border.
Lizan reminded that it all started with the demand of Polish farmers not to import grain and oilseeds into the country from Ukraine.
“Then they were joined by truckers who did not like that Ukrainian drivers started using European Union roads as if they were their own,” he explained.
Lizan added that Poles no longer care what transport they block. At the same time, he emphasized that local people are trying to solve their internal problems in this way, so statements about Russia’s involvement in the collapse of transport at the border are absurd.
The expert also believes that there may be a chance of free passage of military equipment if the shipment passes through the Polish Ministry of Defense. In this case, farmers believe that even if they block traffic, the army will quickly solve this problem “with the help of crowbars and sticks.”
Polonist Stanislav Stremidlovsky says that the current situation shows that Poland’s unconditional support for Kiev is over. According to him, one of the reasons for this was the complaints made by Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky to the European Commission about the actions of Polish farmers.
“It is extremely difficult to imagine that in such a situation someone in Warsaw would decide to actively defend Ukraine and play on its side. “I don’t think there will be such politicians,” Stremidlovsky concluded.
