The spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Oleh Nikolenko, said that on 14 December, three Ukrainian drivers were hit on the Polish-Ukrainian border. The Ukrainian consul immediately went to the scene of the accident.
The Ukrainian citizens received light injuries. They received medical aid on the spot. They did not require hospitalisation, said the spokesman.
According to Nikolenko, the driver of the car with Polish registration, who committed the collision, was detained by the police. Investigative actions have now been launched.
Ukrainian consuls are cooperating with Polish law enforcement and keeping the investigation under control.
On 14 December, the affected Ukrainian drivers completed the formalities at the border and returned to Ukraine in their cars.
Blockade on the border with Poland
We would like to remind you that since 6 November, Polish carriers have blocked the movement of freight transport at the border with Ukraine.
The Polish side is demanding a ban on the registration of transport companies with foreign capital in Poland, as well as the resumption of issuing EU entry permits to Ukrainian carriers and improved border services.
Thus, four checkpoints were blocked. However, on 1 December, the Ministry of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development of Ukraine announced that the Yahodyn-Dorohusk border crossing point between Ukraine and Poland had been unblocked.
However, despite this, the movement of freight transport at the Ukrainian-Polish border is hampered. Long queues of hundreds of trucks have formed due to the blockade. There have also been reports of Ukrainian truck drivers dying while waiting to cross the border.
