A Ukrainian truck driver has died at the Polish-Ukrainian border, becoming ill while standing in line due to the strike by Polish carriers on December 16. It was the third death of a Ukrainian trucker sine the blockade began on November 6, the Suspline public broadcaster reported. Polish truckers have blocked the main land border points into Ukraine in protest at the European Union's relaxing of some transport rules for the access of Ukrainian trucks. The Polish truckers say Ukrainian truckers are undercutting their prices, hurting them financially. To read the original story by RFE/RL’s Ukrainian Service, click here.
