Ukrzaliznytsia commented on the incident with scattered grain at the border

JSC “Ukrzaliznytsia” commented on the incident with Ukrainian grain scattered by Polish protesters at the border.

At the Medyka freight station, Polish protesters opened the hatches of two Ukrainian freight cars containing grain. The Ukrainian cargo is headed to Germany in transit through Poland, the UZ noted.

Ukrzaliznytsia emphasizes the inadmissibility of interference by Polish protesters in the work of the railway.

“Ukrzaliznytsia strictly adheres to the ban on the import of grain cargoes to the Republic of Poland introduced in April 2023 and only transits these cargoes through the territory of the neighboring country. All wagons at the border are checked by the control bodies of Poland, they are sealed. This makes it impossible for Ukrainian grain to enter the Polish market,” the association commented.

Currently, about 40 Ukrainian freight cars with agricultural products are waiting for transshipment at the mentioned station. The Polish Railways and the Embassy of Ukraine in Poland were informed about the unauthorized interference in the work of the railway.

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

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

We will remind that earlier Polish protesters already blocked the passenger train #119 Kyiv — Chelm and tried to block two freight trains.
