When soft wood trees like pines are grown for lumber, you want to cut off the lower branches to minimize the size of the knots in the wood, which increases its value.
Given how high up the branches are gone I'd assume either species (loads grow like this- polish larch is most common in poland) or damage (mountain pine beetle for example). Too far away to tell.
Is it by any chance A2 highway decently close to border with Germany?
yes
It's pine I think
I just have to say, those trees do look polish
These trees are very common, and in night they look really creepy
Our forests consist of ~70% Scots Pine ( Pinus sylvestris ), they're not cut down, it is natural for them to not grow any branches besides on the top. It's a very common tree in eastern europe.
interesting
