(ANSA-AFP) - WARSAW, APR 29 - Polish farmers have lifted blockades at border crossings with Ukraine, officials said Monday, ending a two-month protest over farm imports from the war-torn neighbouring country. Farmers had blocked border crossings with Ukraine since February to protest at what they said was unfair competition from goods that undercut local market prices. Disputes over farm imports have strained ties between the neighbours, even as Poland has shown staunch support for Ukraine over Russia's invasion. "The traffic through all the border crossings (with Ukraine) is possible," Michal Derus, a spokesman for the tax administration chamber in Poland's Lublin region told AFP after farmers ended the last blockade at the Hrebenne border crossing.
