Ukraine Recap: Meeting Set for Monday on Poland Trucking Dispute

Ukrainian and Polish officials plan to meet Monday in a bid to resolve blockades at Poland’s border that have added to recent tensions between the neighbors. Polish truck drivers began blocking crossings earlier this week, citing increased competition from Ukrainian carriers. The protests echo similar moves by Polish farmers earlier this year that led the government to ban Ukrainian grain imports.

Kyiv came under Russian air attack overnight in the first strike on the Ukrainian capital in almost two months, with a ballistic missile targeting the city shot down by air defense, according to the armed forces. That followed a barrage across the country overnight including at least five missiles of various types and 31 Shahed attack drones. Air defense systems intercepted one missile and 19 drones.
