Ukraine’s exports to the EU may drop in October if Poland does not quickly issue more permits for Ukrainian trucks

Ukraine’s exports to the EU may drop in October if Poland does not quickly issue more permits for Ukrainian trucks, logistics experts say. Poland, Ukraine’s second largest EU trading partner after Germany, is the main port of entry for Ukrainian goods sent by truck to the EU. This year, in a bid to bolster Polish trucking, Poland cut its permits to Ukrainian truckers by 28%, to 160,000. But Polish trucking companies are short of drivers and do not want to come to Ukraine. In Warsaw last weekend, President Zelensky and aides asked for immediate talks. “We do not want to wait for the moment when we use all permits — all this must be done in advance,” Oleksandr Danylyuk, Secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defence Council, tells Ukrinform.
