In normal times, 680 trucks passed through it per day, now, due to the blockade, several dozen per day.
“On the Polish side of the border, more than 800 trucks are waiting in a physical queue,” the message states.
Regarding the points “Korchova – Krakowiec” and “Rava-Ruska – Grebenne”, it is reported that the number of trucks in the physical queue on the Polish side is 700 and 600 vehicles, respectively.
The agency reminded that since last week, the Ukrainian drivers assistance headquarters, created together with specialized associations, has been operating. The ministry also initiated the sending of EU monitoring groups to blocked checkpoints in order to record the real situation at the border.
We will remind: Polish transporters, who have been blocking three checkpoints on the border with Ukraine for trucks since November 6, on Thursday began blocking another checkpoint – “Medyka-Sheghini”. Their blockade may last until January 3.
On November 22, the Verkhovna Rada appealed to the new Sejm and Senate of Poland with a proposal to unblock the border for carriers.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that Kyiv has an understanding of how to act and that “it takes some time” for changes.
