Polish Truckers Lift Ukraine Border Blockade Following Government Agreement

The blockade, which has strained Ukraine's economy, will be suspended while further talks are held to reach a final deal by March 1.

Polish truckers have lifted their blockade of checkpoints on the border with Ukraine after reaching an agreement with their government.
The truckers will suspend the blockade while they hold further talks with the Polish government to reach a final deal by March 1.
Polish truckers have complained about what they see as unfair and cheap competition from their Ukrainian counterparts, threatening their own profits.
The Polish and Ukrainian governments had been holding regular talks to try to resolve the problem, without much success.
The main points of the agreement included talks to review a European Union free-trade agreement with Ukraine that Polish truckers say has harmed them, and tighter controls on the paperwork of Ukrainian truckers.
