“I appreciate the decisions that will allow the unhindered supply of military and humanitarian supplies to Ukraine,” said Dmytro Kuleba on the X social network.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said earlier on Thursday that border crossings with neighboring Ukraine would be considered “infrastructure of special importance” to ensure the delivery of aid to the war-torn country.
Disgruntled Polish truck drivers and farmers have blocked border checkpoints in recent months over competition from Ukraine and agricultural imports. This caused tension between Warsaw and Kyiv.
Ukraine warned on Wednesday that queues at the border might disrupt the supply of weapons to the country to help it fend off a Russian invasion.
A new wave of protests by Polish farmers this week sparked friction between the neighboring countries when some demonstrators opened freight wagons carrying Ukrainian grain.
Tusk also said the Polish and Ukrainian governments would hold talks in Warsaw on March 28, a day following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky offered to meet with him at the countries’ shared border.
