    KYIV, Nov 19 (Reuters) - About 3,000 mostly Ukrainian trucks were stuck on the Polish side of the border as of Sunday morning due to a more than 10-day blockade by Polish truckers, Ukrainian authorities said.

    Polish truckers earlier this month blocked roads to three border crossings with Ukraine to protest against what they see as government inaction over a loss of business to foreign competitors since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

    Ukrainian officials said last week Kyiv and Warsaw had again failed to reach an agreement to stop the protest.

    Thousands of people are forced to live in difficult conditions with limited food, water and fuel," Oleksandr Kubrakov, Deputy Ukraine’s Prime Minister, said on X, formerly Twitter.

    Ukrainian grain brokers said last week Ukraine’s shipments of food by road decreased 2.7% in the first 13 days of November due to difficulties on the Polish border caused by a drivers’ strike.

    Spike Brokers, which regularly tracks export statistics, said that the passage of vehicles through customs checkpoints on the border with Poland decreased to 4,000 tons of cargo per day, compared to the peak of 7,500 tons per day a month earlier.
