2 февраля 2024

In Poland, farmers are preparing for another protests. Actions across the country are planned for February 9. The strikes will start with the blockade of all border crossings between Poland and Ukraine. Roads and autobahns in all voivodships will be blocked.

One of the reasons for such actions is the decision of the European Commission to extend duty-free trade in agricultural goods with Ukraine until June 2025. According to the organizers, the protests will last at least a month.
