Poland will put border crossings with Ukraine on the list of “critical infrastructure” to avoid jams that could disrupt the delivery of military and humanitarian aid, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has announced.

After a long blockade of the Polish-Ukrainian border by truck drivers, Polish farmers today launched new protests blocking dozens of roads in the country and border crossings with Ukraine, denouncing “uncontrolled” imports of agricultural products from the war-torn country and the joint agricultural policy of the European Union.

Ukrainian wheat was dumped on the road and railway tracks by angry farmers, sparking strong reactions in Kiev and Warsaw.

“In order to have a 100% guarantee that military, humanitarian and medical aid will reach Ukraine without delay, border crossings with Ukraine, certain roads and railways will be included in the list of critical infrastructure,” Donald told reporters. Tusk.

“This will also mean a different organization of border posts, roads and railways leading to the Ukrainian border,” he added.

However, the Polish prime minister said that to date “there have never been any significant problems” with the transfers of military or humanitarian aid to Ukraine.

At the same time, Donald Tusk announced that the meeting between the Polish and Ukrainian governments will take place “as planned” on March 28 in Warsaw.

The Polish prime minister did not agree to a request by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for a border meeting between the two countries within the week.

“We have already met in Kiev (…) with (Ukraine’s) Prime Minister Denis Smykhal and President Zelensky was informed that the meeting between the two governments will be held on March 28 in Warsaw,” said Donald Tusk.
