Representatives of Poland and Ukraine are negotiating to close the border between the countries for trade. This was stated by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk in the RAR publication.


According to Tusk, the topic of border closure will also be raised during his meeting with farmers. He noted that there had already been an attempt to limit the supply of agricultural products from Ukraine. That is, to allow as much to enter duty-free as the average in 2022-2023.


However, in Brussels, Poland plans to propose that the reference period should be the time before the war, not 22/23.


"To make the limits more restrictive, that is, so that they do not threaten Polish producers," he explained.


According to him, negotiations are also underway with the Ukrainian side on "the temporary closure of the border for the exchange of goods."


"It is known that this will be a temporary and mutually painful decision. I am ready to make even tough decisions when it comes to the border with Ukraine, always in agreement with Kyiv, so that there is no unnecessary tension between Warsaw and Kyiv, but we must find a solution that will be long-lasting," Tusk said.
