/ world today news/ Yesterday, hundreds of truck drivers in Poland blocked the three main border points between Poland and Ukraine in protest against the special regime granted by the European Union to Ukrainian transport companies, which has harmed the interests of the Polish transport industry.
Organizers of the protest said that since the start of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the EU had eased regulatory restrictions on Ukrainian transport companies to ease pressure on the import and export of their goods. However, this move has led to unfair market competition and seriously harmed the interests of the Polish transport industry.
The protest will reportedly last for two months. During this period, protesters will only be allowed one truck per hour, except for vehicles carrying special cargo such as humanitarian aid. This will continue until the EU, Poland and Ukraine hold talks to resolve the issues related to the situation. Protesters said the move was not aimed at Ukrainian drivers, but about “creating a level playing field”.
