Polish farmers completely block the Shehyni checkpoint on the border with Ukraine

This was announced by the representative of the State Border Service Andriy Demchenko during the United News telethon.

“The situation has not actually changed in recent days. But today we have a certain change in the direction of the Shehyni checkpoint. Because at 13:00, as the Polish side told us, Polish farmers refused to let through any truck that was heading both towards Ukraine and and towards Poland. Although even before this, there was such a critical minimum of border crossings by trucks in this direction,” he said.

According to the speaker, over the past 24 hours, only 47 cargo vehicles crossed this direction in both directions, “and after 13:00 and now the Ukrainian side records directly at our checkpoint that the trucks are not moving either from Poland or to Poland. The Polish side does not accept cargo vehicles from Ukraine.

Also, a significant decrease in the number of border crossings by trucks remains in the direction of the Yagodyn checkpoint.

“Over the past 24 hours, 111 trucks crossing the border from Poland to Ukraine crossed the border here. Polish farmers still do not allow a single truck traveling from Ukraine to Poland to pass. In recent days, these are “zero” indicators of border crossings towards Poland in this direction,” added Demchenko.

He said that 2,350 trucks were queuing at six checkpoints.
