Charities and NGOs supplying military aid to Ukraine's armed forces are facing delays of several weeks to critical supplies of drones, electronics and pickup trucks due to border protests by Polish truckers, three industry sources told Reuters.
Thousands of trucks carrying commercial goods have been backed up for weeks at Poland's border crossings with Ukraine because of the protests, which began on Nov. 6. Hauliers in Slovakia began a similar blockade on Dec. 1.
The protesters want to end Ukrainian truckers' permit-free access to the EU, saying Ukrainian drivers are undercutting their prices. Kyiv says the volume of wartime traffic makes a truck permit system impracticable.

Oh no now the Polish truckers will be called “Putin’s Stooges”!
I met with some Polish parts suppliers to our company two months ago. They were from the SE near Krakow.
When the topic of the present war came up, they said to me: “we Poles suffered at the hands of the Germans, we suffered at the hands of the Russians, but we never suffered as much as from the hands of the Ukrainians.” One said to me: “my grandfather and grandmother barely escaped alive.”
I didn’t dare ask family history details, but was very surprised by this.
Good.
EU farmers are just as PO’d about the Ukes undercutting their prices.
Watch the movie “Wołyn”.
Warning: It’s not an easy watch.
Never ever ____ with another man’s livelihood.
Two world wars and more ravaged this part of the world. So many wounded and hurt people.
Among other things these are the lands of pogroms against the Jewish people that helped to give birth to Zionism.
Most of the Jews in Poland before the war were Anti-Zionist Bundists.
Ukranians welcomed the Germans as liberators from Stalin after the famine and purges. The Ukes proved in many cases to be as brutal as the Germans. Had the Germans not treated them like dirt, the outcome may have been different on the eastern front.
Make sure to watch the longer uncensored version....
I did.
“Ukranians welcomed the Germans as liberators from Stalin after the famine and purges.”
That is fairly misleading. Galicia and that Lviv area that welcomed the Germans were not part of the Holomodor. That was in the 1930s when it was still part of Poland. They missed the Holomodor. They were not under Soviet control until September of 39. They so remained for the next year and a half until the Germans invaded the USSR in the Summer of 1941. The very next day the Ukes started killing every Pole and Jew they could find.
Horrifying. You would think Ukes would go out of their way to be cool to Poles at this moment.
They need those truckers on the Belarus border to keep the Muzzies out.

The Lviv pograms of 1941. (not to be confused with the pograms of 1914 or 1918)

And this is the topic covered in the movie referred to you.
Western Ukes are nothing America should be involved with.
Unless you are doing it with Covid restrictions. Any opposition gets the jackboot treatment.

From your mouth to God’s ears. And God hope this new Pro-EU Pole government doesn’t open the floodgates.
