Ukraine was predicted to lose 20% of imports due to protests from Polish carriers

Losses of Ukrainian imports due to blocking of the border by Polish carriers could amount to at least 20%. This is what Taras Kachka, Deputy Head of the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine, thinks, writes Reuters.

The Ukrainian minister cited unpublished government data showing the country purchased $3.8 billion worth of goods in 26 days this month, up from $5.2 billion last month.

The blocking of the three main checkpoints on the Polish-Ukrainian border continues. The first closures began on November 6 at the checkpoints “Yagodin – Dorohusk”, “Krakovets – Korcheva” and “Rava-Russkaya – Hrebene”
