Thousands of farmers and truckers in Romania have escalated their protests against tax increases, fuel price hikes, and tolls by blocking roads and border checkpoints. Last night, they set up camp on the Bucharest ring road. The movement of trucks through the Siret checkpoint on the border with Ukraine is blocked, with only trucks being specifically targeted. The reasons for the blockade and its expected duration are unknown. Romanian farmers are demanding increased government subsidies to compete with Ukrainian products, citing unfair competition and a 'price collapse' due to imports. The situation at the border has been fluctuating, with the Siret and Vicovu de Sus checkpoints being blocked, unblocked, and then blocked again, as reported by the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.
