Ukrainian grain bound for Germany was spilled by Polish protesters from the wagons

On the morning of February 20th, at the Medyka freight station, Polish protesters opened the hatches of two Ukrainian freight wagons containing grain, this is reported by the railway transport news portal Railway Supply.

This concerns cargo that is transiting through Poland to Germany.

Ukrzaliznytsia noted the inadmissibility of Polish protesters interfering with the railway’s operations.

“Ukrzaliznytsia adheres to the ban on grain imports to Poland, introduced in April 2023, and transports them only in transit through the neighboring country. All wagons at the border are checked by Polish authorities and sealed, making it impossible for Ukrainian grain to enter the Polish market,” the company clarified.

Currently, about 40 Ukrainian freight wagons with agricultural products are waiting for transshipment at the specified station.

“Ukrzaliznytsia is outraged by such actions of Polish protesters and calls for an end to illegal actions. Such actions do not contribute to solving potential problems but play into the hands of the aggressor country. Currently, the company has sent a relevant appeal to Polish law enforcement agencies,” the message states.

According to the Minister of Development of Communities, Territories, and Infrastructure of Ukraine Alexander Kubrakov, the spilled Ukrainian grain on the railway tracks in Poland is another political provocation aimed at dividing our peoples.

It is added that passenger trains to and from the Republic of Poland operate on schedule.

As reported earlier, despite agreements, protesters are trying to obstruct the movement of trains with Ukrainian grain.
