Ukraine negotiates with Poland and Slovakia on customs control. "Financial Times" on the details

Ukraine is negotiating with EU neighbors, including Poland and Slovakia, to move customs controls for trucks carrying Ukrainian grain inland to enhance security against Russian drone attacks. Recent weeks have seen long queues of trucks attacked near the EU border, prompting Ukraine to shift more agricultural exports overland due to disruptions in Black Sea routes. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry has established joint border control points with Moldova and aims to expand this initiative to Poland. The European Commission supports Moldova in transferring customs controls to its side of the border. Increased drone attacks have led to significant truck backups at border crossings, with over 1200 trucks waiting at one point in Volyn region.
