Trucker protests: Unraveling the standoff between Polish and Ukrainian haulers

As Polish protests blocking three major Poland-Ukraine border crossings stretch into their third week, negotiations have all but failed as Ukraine accuses the protestors of causing further harm to its wartime economy and the risk grows the protests could spread to other EU countries. Kyiv on Nov. 19 sent a humanitarian team to the border to provide food and water to truckers. Adamant protestors belonging to the Committee for the Defense of Carriers and Transport Employers (KOPIPT) are threatening to carry out the blockade until Jan. 3, 2024, demanding a limit on the number of Ukrainian drivers entering Poland.
