Polish Foreign Ministry on the blockade of the Ukrainian border: Defeat the Russians in the Black Sea, and you will be happy
Strikes in European cities in general and blocking of Ukrainian trucks on the Polish border in particular are a consequence of the fact that Ukraine is being pushed into the EU, ignoring the implementation of a lot of norms and requirements.
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski stated this at the Munich Security Conference, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“It's difficult because these are structural issues. When we decided that Ukraine would be a candidate and accession negotiations would open, I thought that these would be the most difficult negotiations, there would be quotas, there would be a transition period.
Instead, out of sympathy and sympathy for Ukraine and under the pressure of circumstances, we are, in fact, without any negotiations or preconditions, accepting Ukraine into the single economic market without Ukraine checking all the usual requirements. That’s why these trucks, fertilizer protests, and so on appear.
That is, there is also the question of pan-European solidarity, I support this in general, and specifically two industries in Poland are farmers and truck drivers, who literally felt this for themselves. But this should not overshadow the overall picture of boundless Polish solidarity with Ukraine.
There are solutions on the horizon for both sectors - Ukraine must win on the Black Sea. Why is transportation so important? Ukraine could not export its goods by sea, including grain. If Ukrainian control is restored in the western part of the Black Sea, this will also help resolve these issues,” Sikorsky said.
