A meeting/demonstration of three ambassadors of the Baltic states at the Ministry of Infrastructure of Poland took place in Warsaw. ...We respect the right of truck drivers to rally. But, unfortunately, this has led to a difficult situation that creates problems for other carriers and additional difficulties for the Ukrainian economy. For our part, we are raising this issue with Poland and hope that a solution will be found in the near future in cooperation between Poland, Ukraine and the European Commission.
