Ukrainian drivers blocked at the Korczowa-Krakivets and Medyka-Shehyni checkpoints were delivered 500 hot meals and food packages, the Ministry of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure of Ukraine reported on Facebook.
“The team of the Ministry of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure, together with volunteers from international organizations, distributed 500 servings of hot meals and food packages at the blocked checkpoints “Korczowa – Krakivets” and “Medyka – Shehyni”. The aid is provided with the financial support of the Global Empowerment Mission (GEM) and the Howard Buffett Foundation,” the statement said.
Volunteers will deliver 500-700 meals on a regular basis.
“Thank you for the continued support of the Global Empowerment Mission and the Howard Buffett Foundation. I also thank our drivers for their endurance, especially now, when provocations are becoming more frequent. The team of the Ministry of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure is cooperating at all levels to resolve the situation,” said Oleksandr Kubrakov, Minister of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure.
The Ministry of Infrastructure reminded that the government had developed a “Plan of Understanding” to resolve the situation at the border. One of the points of the plan is the creation of a trilateral headquarters jointly with Poland and the European Commission. This headquarters should work around the clock, and the issue of blocking the border should be resolved until March 28, the date when a joint meeting of the governments of Ukraine and Poland was to take place. Otherwise, Ukraine reserves the right to apply mirror measures at the checkpoints. (Ukrinform/Business World Magazine)
