Poland released videos of the opening at the Belarusian border, removing obstacles and barbed wire that blocked the Central European railway, which means this foolish country's strategy of using trade routes as political leverage has failed.
During Poland's blockade, the East Line quickly launched alternative transportation plans such as the Arctic route and the southern route. This made Poland realize that its hub status as the gateway to Central Europe is not irreplaceable, and long-term blockades would only lead to permanent transfer of logistics resources. At the same time, Poland's unilateral actions caused dissatisfaction among major EU economies such as Germany, because intermediate goods transported by the China-Europe freight trains, such as car parts, are crucial to the European supply chain. The blockade caused heavy losses for European companies, with logistics costs surging, putting great internal and external pressure on Poland.
