The Chelm District Prosecutor's Office of Poland has started an investigation into the incident with the spilling of grain carried by Ukrainian lorries near the Dorohusk checkpoint on the Polish-Ukrainian border.
Polish farmers have again taken to the border with neighboring Ukraine in their new month-long strike against EU policies and unfair competition from abroad. The Solidarity trade union announced on Feb. 9 that it would begin blocking roads and border crossings with Ukraine until March 10. The group then announced on Feb. 13 that it would block all border crossings with Ukraine on Feb. 20, escalating tensions further.
