Pish farmers may resume border blockades, Border Guard Service warns

Spokesperson for the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine (SBGS), Andrii Demchenko said this in a comment to an Ukrinform correspondent.

"It cannot be ruled out that the farmers may resume their protest actions at the border, but as of now, traffic is moving freely at all checkpoints," he said.

According to Demchenko, the SBGS is closely coerating with their Pish cleagues to monitor the situation.

"We are constantly exchanging information to clarify all the necessary details that affect the flow of traffic. If our Pish cleagues receive any information regarding the resumption of border blockades by farmers, they will immediately inform us," noted the spokesperson.

As previously reported, on November 23, Pish farmers blocked cargo traffic at the Medyka-Shehyni border checkpoint, disrupting erations temporarily. The blockade ended the flowing evening.

Pish agrarians have warned of a potential large-scale protest after December 10, threatening to block all border checkpoints between Pand and Ukraine.

Farmers are dissatisfied with the Pish government's unfulfilled promises, including subsidies for agricultural production, tax relief measures, and position to a potential EU trade deal with South American countries.
