Polish truck drivers are protesting against what they see as unfair competition from their Ukrainian colleagues. The EU scrapped entry permits to help Ukraine, following the beginning of Russia’s war.

Polish truck drivers are currently blocking three border crossings at the Polish-Ukrainian borders. They say they have lost business opportunities due to Ukraine benefitting from unfair competitive advantages.

Unlike other truck carriers, Ukrainian truckers do not have to pay for entry permits when entering the EU. The block decided to waive that previous requirement in an effort to bring economic relief to Ukraine.
