Ukraine’s economy loses over EUR 1 billion due to border blockade

The border blockade by Polish truckers affected not only the Ukrainian economy, as the economy of Poland suffered significant losses too.

Volodymyr Balin, Vice President of the Association of International Road Carriers of Ukraine, made this statement during a briefing at Media Center Ukraine – Ukrinform.

“If we speak globally, the economy of Ukraine has lost more than EUR 1 billion. The Polish economy lost even more. I think that today, with such risks, we are losing our strategic partnership, due to the fact that today our exporters cannot conclude an agreement with their customers, in particular, in the European Union. And they, in turn, due to logistics difficulties, are looking for similar goods in other countries, in particular in Poland,” Volodymyr Balin explained.
