SBGS: Polish farmers do not let trucks leave Ukraine at two checkpoints

The speaker emphasised that the Uhryniv, Yahodyn and Rava-Ruska checkpoints on the border with Poland are being blocked. At the latter two, Polish farmers do not allow trucks travelling from Ukraine to Poland at all. In the recent period, there have been zero border crossings leaving Ukraine. A total of about 500 trucks are queued up in these areas.

According to Demchenko, there are also queues at the unblocked checkpoints on the Polish border, but truck traffic is not blocked. There are also queues at checkpoints on the border with other countries.

"We have queues in three directions - Slovakia, Hungary and Romania. In particular, in the direction of the Uzhhorod checkpoint, which is the border with Slovakia, as of this morning, about 300 trucks are waiting in line," he said.

According to him, about 800 trucks are waiting in line at the Tysa checkpoint on the border with Hungary. Opposite the Porubne checkpoint, about 400 trucks are waiting to enter Ukraine from Romania.

“Here we see an increase in queues precisely with the beginning of the blocking of traffic by Polish farmers on the border with Ukraine, since it is quite difficult to cross the border with Poland,” he said.
