Description
Polish truckers will continue blocking the border with Ukraine until demands for an end to unfair competition practices by hauliers from the neighbouring country are met, representatives say. "Until our demands are met, until no one takes them seriously, until our government and the Ukrainians take it to heart to talk to us, we will not lift the blockades and we will persist to the end," says the chairman of the strike committee at the border in Dorohusk.
At the press conference, Ukrainian truckers are also accused of falsifying documents in order to pass commercial goods off as humanitarian aid. More than 10,000 lorries are blocked on both sides of the Polish-Ukrainian border. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
