At border crossings, there are about 2,500 trucks waiting in queues. Overall, there are 9 checkpoints functioning on the border with Poland, 6 of which are blocked.

This was reported by the spokesperson of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, Andriy Demchenko, during an interview with KYIV24.

Currently, there are 2,500 trucks blocked at the Polish border. This information comes from our Polish colleagues. This situation is observed at these six checkpoints where farmers continue to block or impede the movement for freight vehicles.

According to Andriy Demchenko, the longest queues are currently observed at the blocked checkpoints of “Krakovets” and “Yagodyn”. Out of the 9 available checkpoints, 6 are blocked.

The largest queues are opposite the “Krakovets” and “Yagodyn” checkpoints. Overall, there are 9 checkpoints operating on the border with Poland, and 6 directions where Polish farmers continue to block. This includes 4 directions towards Lviv region and 2 towards Volyn region.

President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the situation at the Polish border has long exceeded the limits of economics and morality.

Numerous farmer protests have been taking place throughout Poland for several consecutive days. Their participants block roads, highways, motorways, and border crossings with Ukraine. Farmers protest against the influx of Ukrainian goods and against the European Union’s policy associated with the so-called “Green Course”.

The organizers of the blockade in Poland, the recently created “Committee for the Protection of Carriers and Employers in the Transport Industry”, claim that the action is economic and not political. However, their actions have not found support among the authorities and other organizations of carriers. Nevertheless, the protest is being actively supported by the consistent anti-Ukrainian and anti-European party “Konfederacja”, whose representatives are the most vocal in expressing anti-Ukrainian statements, fighting against Ukrainian refugees in the media, and already billing for assistance to Ukraine and its citizens.

At the same time, as journalists from the “Ukrainska Pravda” found out, thousands of trucks with Russian grain and other agricultural products freely pass through the border from Belarus to Poland.
