Three directions — Rawa-Ruska, Krakowiec and Szegyni — on the border between Poland and Ukraine are blocked by representatives of Polish truckers and farmers.

The blockade of strikers from Poland does not stop

The Polish side continues to block the movement of Ukrainian trucks in three directions, but there is a positive trend of increasing traffic at the recently unblocked Yagodyn checkpoint.

The spokesman of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, Colonel Andriy Demchenko, reported it.

The most challenging situation remains on the border with Poland. Three directions: Rawa-Ruska, Krakowiec and Szegyni are blocked by representatives of Polish carriers and farmers.

As of the morning of December 15, according to information from Polish border guards, there are approximately 2,600 trucks in queues in these three directions heading for Ukraine. The biggest one is opposite the "Sheginy" checkpoint.

But I can say that there is quite a good, positive dynamic in the "Yagodyn" checkpoint. As you know, it was unlocked on December 11. Gradually, every day, the cargo flow increased. And for yesterday, more than 1,200 freight vehicles crossed this direction in both directions. More — in the direction of Ukraine.

And these are, in fact, almost the indicators that were before the blocking on November 6. Of course, there are still a large number of vehicles in the queue (1,700 on the territory of Poland towards Ukraine), but if such traffic is ensured in the future, it will allow faster crossing of the border in both directions.

At the border, the checkpoint "Yagodyn — Dorogusk" was unblocked

This was announced on December 11 by Oleksandr Kubrakov, First Deputy Prime Minister of Development of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure of Ukraine.

The blockade of the checkpoint "Yagodyn — Dorogusk" has been completed. Since 14:00, stable traffic of trucks has been restored there, he wrote.

According to him, 15 vehicles have passed in the direction of Ukraine — they are at the checkpoint. Also, 25 trucks are being processed — they will go to Poland.

The minister also recalled that the largest cargo checkpoint was blocked for over a month.
