How can the trains and trucks travelling daily between Ukraine and Poland operate without a driver?

 

Ukraine exports first grain by train to Europe

 

One of the logistical difficulties is that Ukraine's rail runs on a different gauge to Poland and Europe so it needs to be off loaded once out of Ukraine, hence one of the reasons why grain silos are going to be built on the borders.

 

To say its self inflicted is misleading and false.

They won't allow Ukrainian men to leave the country - that's doing to severely limit transportation.

 

I guess they're using foreign drivers.

I mean non Ukranians - likely Polish nationals if they're driving to Poland.

 

For sure people are struggling to export goods due to movement restrictions.

Yes there is a war on and many train depots have been destroyed along with many roads unsafe to travel, actually 24 railway stations have also been destroyed and a few massive grain silo's infact Ukraine's second largest grain silo for export was totally destroyed by Russian missiles last week.
