Blocking the border with Poland: Ukrainian business lost €1,5 billion in two months

During the peak months of blocking the Polish border, Ukrainian business lost about 1,5 billion euros.

Due to the protests, which were at their peak in November-December, Ukrainian business lost about 1,5 billion euros due to the inability to export/import, and if you add half of January, these are of course additional costs borne by the Ukrainian side and the business side, which imports to Ukraine. A significant number of products, including from Poland, were not sold. A new round of protests is taking place in Poland. Farmers blocked hundreds of roads, demanding to protect their business from import from third countries, Ukraine in particular. Polish farmers claim that they are in a non-competitive position because they are obliged to comply with a number of rules and additionally spend money on certain measures to protect the environment, while these requirements do not apply to producers in third countries. Another demand of the strikers is the need to revise the unified agrarian policy.
