Trucks are lining up to cross the border in Medyka, Poland, on November 23, 2023, as Polish farmers are beginning a strike and blocking truck transport. This strike is taking place at the Medyka border crossing between Poland and Ukraine. The farmers are joining the transport sector in their ongoing strike, which has lasted over two weeks, against the poor management of agricultural imports of Ukrainian produce. They are also demanding a renegotiation of transport deals between Ukraine and the European Union. Medyka is the fourth site of the strike. Protesters have already blocked three other crossings for truck transport, allowing only four trucks per hour. This excludes trucks carrying humanitarian and military aid, as well as sensitive chemical and food goods. According to the drivers, the queue to the Medyka crossing was nearly seven days long even before the strike started today
