As stated in the article, the court decision is not final and is not subject to appeal, so the organizers of the meeting must stop the protest. They noted that the protest was planned for four months: from May 12 to September 12, 2025.
The judge of the Court of Appeal Dorota Yanitskaya said that the decision was made at a closed meeting in the so-called 24-hour mode and that it was canceled by Voit’s ban and published a written justification of this decision, writes Radio Lublin.
According to her, the court drew attention to the definition of a “meeting”, since in this particular case it was not a question of a public meeting, but rather about blocking the road. Therefore, according to the conviction court, Voit Gmina made the right decision, prohibiting the holding of this event.
The protest organizer Rafal Mekler said that he had not yet received official confirmation from the Court of Appeal on the prohibition of protest, but noted that the protesters will be fulfilled.
Before that, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Alexander Mishchenko met with the head of the Polish Embassy in Ukraine Peter Lukasevich, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said. They added that the Ukrainian side urged the Polish authorities to take all the necessary measures to prevent such blockade.
The department noted that transport communication between the two countries is of critical importance for the Ukrainian economy and is an important humanitarian channel in Russian aggression.
Mishchenko emphasized that the domestic political processes in Poland, in particular on the eve of the presidential election, should not affect economic relations with Ukraine or cause damage to interstate relations.
For the operational resolution of the situation, Mishchenko proposed organizing direct contact between the relevant ministries of Ukraine and Poland. The Foreign Ministry also assured to promote this process at all levels.
