In March, Ukraine will lose UAH 6.5 billion in revenues from customs due to the blocking of borders by Polish strikers.
Member of Parliament from the Servant of the People faction, chairman of the parliamentary committee on finance, tax and customs policy Danylo Hetmantsev announced this on the Telegram channel, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
"UAH 6.5 billion. So much Ukraine will lose in revenues from customs as a result of border blocking in March. This is one and a half brigades fully equipped with everything. Let me remind you that in the past this figure was UAH 7 billion," he wrote.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, commenting on the blocking of the movement of Ukrainian trucks on the border with Poland, said that only 5% of Ukrainian agro-export passes through this border, so the reason for the protests of Polish farmers lies not in grain, but in politics.
On February 20, Polish farmers began tighter restrictions on the movement of vehicles on the border with Ukraine.
