According to him, the biggest queue is observed in the direction of checkpoints "Krakivets" and "Yagodin", where at the last checkpoint trucks are allowed only in the direction of Ukraine, and over the past day 70 vehicles have passed through.
Let me remind you that "Yagodin" is the largest infrastructure route where 1,200-1,400 trucks can cross the border in both directions. On the other hand, now only trucks that follow to Ukraine are allowed through... No trucks cross the border towards Poland, because they are not allowed through, Demchenko added.
He pointed out that the protesters do not block traffic for other categories of transport, including passenger cars and buses.
What is known about blocking the border of Ukraine
Since February 9, Polish farmers have been blocking checkpoints on the border of Ukraine for the passage of trucks.
These are the checkpoints: "Dorogusk - Yagodin", "Grebenne - Rava-Ruska", "Medyka - Sheghini", "Zosyn - Ustylug", "Dolgobichuv - Ughrynov", "Korchova - Krakowiec".
They demand to ban the import of Ukrainian agricultural products and for Poland to abandon the European Green Deal.
During this time, they dumped Ukrainian crops 5 times from freight cars onto the tracks or from trucks onto the roads.
Since March 1, the Sheghini checkpoint has been completely blocked.
