Poland has reopened the Kuźnica Białostocka and Bobrowniki border crossings, which had been closed due to the migration crisis.

Mykhailo Tkach, a journalist of Ukrainska Pravda media, went to the Polish border and conducted an investigation to find out the scale of trade turnover between Poland and Belarus. It turned out that while Ukrainian agricultural products are blocked at the border, Poland pays hundreds of millions to companies from Russia and Belarus for seeds, oil and animal feed. ▪️ Poland trades with Russia and Belarus, while Ukraine is banned even from transit. Ukrainian agricultural exports to Poland fell by 40% last year. In August, amid protests, Poland banned imports of wheat, corn, rapeseed and sunflower seeds from Ukraine, and in September, it added rapeseed cake and meal, corn bran, wheat flour and derivatives. Since April 2023, Ukrainian grain has been going through Poland only in transit. Despite this, protests at the border continue. There are about 6 thousand cars in line to leave Ukraine for Poland, and another 2 thousand to enter Poland Imports of agricultural products from Russia to Poland in 2023 reached $117 and exceeded the level of 2021, i.e. the level before the full-scale war. Poland purchased $55 million from Lukashenko, which also exceeds the profits of previous years. ▪️ "Disservice" to ourselves Poland not only continues to trade with the aggressor state and its satellite, but also increases imports of agricultural products. The situation already shows that the Poles have done a "disservice" to themselves, because Polish grain has been displaced by Russian grain on foreign markets. Russia, in turn, has increased its exports by stealing Ukrainian grain, among other things. ▪️ Playing on dislike of Ukrainians Some Polish pro-Russian politicians purposefully make Ukrainians public enemies. They are allegedly destroying the Polish economy and have allegedly been ungrateful in response to Poles' help after the Russian invasion. However, it is worth realizing that refusal to cooperate with Ukraine will deprive Polish farmers themselves of many opportunities. Polish companies that are already present on the Ukrainian market and those that could be on it will be left with nothing. 📹: Economic Pravda editor Dmytro Denkov

🚨🇵🇱‼️🇧🇾 BREAKING: OVER 180 MIGRANTS FORCED THEIR WAY INTO POLAND THROUGH A BORDER TUNNEL 🛑 MASSIVE BREACH AT THE POLAND–BELARUS BORDER — BORDER GUARD IN ACTION In a dramatic escalation of the ongoing border crisis, more than 180 people illegally entered Poland through a specially dug tunnel under the Poland–Belarus border, Polish Border Guard officials reported on Friday. This incident represents a serious breach of frontier security and highlights continuing pressure on Poland’s eastern border. According to the Border Guard, the group passed through a kilometre-long underground passage hidden beneath the forest near Narewka in the Podlaskie region. The tunnel was estimated at approximately 1.5 metres in height, forcing those using it to crouch as they crossed beneath the official barrier. ⸻ 🔎 IMMEDIATE RESPONSE Polish authorities acted swiftly. Using electronic border monitoring systems, officers determined that over 180 migrants had crossed, and so far more than 130 have been detained on Polish territory. Search operations continue for the remaining individuals who are still at large. Officials noted that the majority of those intercepted were citizens of Afghanistan and Pakistan, with additional detainees from countries including India, Nepal and Bangladesh. Border Guard spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Andrzej Juźwiak confirmed that in addition to standard border patrols, soldiers, police units, and service dogs are participating in the operation to secure the area. ⸻ 🚚 ASSOCIATED ARRESTS In a related development, authorities also arrested two drivers — one a 69-year-old resident of southern Poland and another a 49-year-old Lithuanian — who reportedly arrived at the scene with the intent of transporting migrants further into Europe. Both are currently under investigation. ⸻ ❗ CONTEXT — MIGRATION PRESSURES ON POLAND Poland has faced persistent illegal migration challenges since 2021. Authorities have documented repeated attempts by large groups of migrants to breach the border with Belarus, sometimes involving violent confrontations and efforts to dismantle border controls — part of what Warsaw describes as attempts to destabilise the frontier. This incident is the fourth tunnel-based attempt discovered this year, underscoring the evolving tactics used by migrant groups and smuggling networks to circumvent long-established border defences. ⸻ 🧭 WHY THIS MATTERS Poland began constructing a 180-kilometre border barrier with Belarus in 2022 to prevent exactly this kind of mass illegal entry. The repeated breaches have intensified political debate at home about national security, migration policy, and cooperation within the European Union. By land, Poland’s eastern border remains one of the most sensitive and strategically significant in the EU — and events like this tunnel crossing signal that pressure on frontier defences is far from over.
