Polish farmers have blocked two more checkpoints on the border with Ukraine. The protest has also been extended to the Medyka - Shehyni checkpoint, the State Border Guard Service (SBGS) reported.
"Polish farmers have started protests at two more checkpoints and have again blocked Shehyni," the report said.
Zosin - Ustyluh checkpoint
Today, at 10:10, protests by Polish farmers began near the Zosin - Ustyluh checkpoint.
"The protesters intend to allow 3 trucks per hour," border guards added.
Cars, buses, vehicles with humanitarian aid, and vehicles up to 3.5 tons in both directions will be processed in the usual mode.
Uhryniv - Dolhobychiv checkpoint
Also, according to the SBGS, movement near the Uhryniv - Dolhobychiv checkpoint is blocked.
"The protesters intend to allow 2 trucks per hour in both directions," the report said.
Medyka - Shehyni checkpoint
In addition, blocking has been resumed in the direction of the Medyka - Shehyni checkpoints. It is planned to allow 1 truck per hour, although the protest action will not extend to the passage of passenger cars and buses.
Border situation between Ukraine and Poland
On February 9, Polish farmers blocked three checkpoints on the border with Ukraine, complicating the movement of trucks and trains. Later, it became known that they had unblocked one of the checkpoints on the border with Ukraine - the Shehyni-Medyka checkpoint.
On November 6, 2023, Polish carriers already started strikes on the border with Ukraine. However, on January 17, 2024, the Polish government signed an agreement with carriers to unblock the border with Ukraine. Under the agreement, the parties agreed to suspend protests at the approaches to three checkpoints on the border until March 1.
