At the Ukrainian-Polish border, all six directions remain blocked. In total, there are 2.4 thousand trucks queued on the Polish side heading towards Ukraine, according to the spokesperson for the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine (SBGS) Andrii Demchenko.
As Demchenko noted, the longest queue is observed at the Krakivets and Yahodyn checkpoints. In total, there are 2.4 thousand trucks queued in all six directions.
Checkpoint Shehyni
According to the State Border Guard Service spokesperson, the situation remains unchanged. Polish farmers blocked the passage of trucks in both directions several days ago. The exception is for trucks carrying humanitarian or essential cargo for Ukraine.
Checkpoint Yahodyn
"I would like to remind you that this is the largest infrastructure route where 1200-1400 trucks can cross the border in both directions. However, currently, only trucks heading towards Ukraine are allowed through. In the past day, there were only 70 such trucks. On the other hand, no trucks are crossing the border towards Poland because they are not being allowed," Demchenko explained.
In particular, the spokesperson noted that protesters are not blocking the movement of other categories of vehicles, such as cars and buses.
