Polish protesters block all six directions at the Ukrainian border

Polish protesters are blocking all six directions at the Ukrainian border.

This information reported according to Andriy Demchenko, a representative of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.

“The movement blockade for freight vehicles continues by Polish farmers. This affects six directions. As of this morning, a total of over 2400 freight vehicles are waiting for passage on all these directions on the Polish side towards Ukraine,” he noted.

The longest queue is at the checkpoints “Krakovets” and “Yagodyn.” At “Yagodyn,” trucks are only allowed to pass in the direction of Ukraine. About 70 trucks crossed the border there within a day, although the checkpoint’s capacity is up to 1400 trucks.

However, according to Demchenko, the protesters are not blocking the movement for passenger cars and buses.

Earlier reports stated that the traffic at the “Shehyni” checkpoint on the Ukraine-Poland border was completely blocked.

Recall that Ukrainian carriers, who got stuck in Poland due to the blockade by Polish farmers, wanted to hold a protest action and block one of the roads, as they had done before, but Polish law enforcement officers did not allow them to do so. A verbal conflict occurred between the drivers and the police, after which the Ukrainians began to sing the Ukrainian anthem.
