Ukraine has initiated the creation of a monitoring group by the European Union on the border with Poland, where Polish carriers have been blocking key checkpoints for more than two weeks.

Details: As Derkach said, Kyiv proposes that EU observers record the situation near checkpoints: “whether dangerous goods are allowed through, how humanitarian aid crosses the border, and most importantly, what conditions our drivers have been in for more than two weeks.”

“An official letter with such a proposal has been sent. We are waiting for a response,” he added.

The official also said that Kyiv started collecting data for the evacuation of Ukrainian drivers, as it had failed to agree on it during the negotiations with the local and central authorities of Poland and the EU.

“We have proposed a number of compromises, and the Polish government and the European Commission are aware of them. But it is possible to agree on something only when there is a desire to negotiate and not just a desire to block the border,” Derkach concluded.

Background:

  • Polish carriers, who have been blocking three checkpoints on the border with Ukraine for trucks since 6 November, began blocking another checkpoint on Thursday, Medyka-Shehyni. Their blockade may last until 3 January.
  • On 22 November, the Ukrainian Parliament appealed to the new Sejm and Senate of Poland with a proposal to unblock the border for carriers.
