Only one road to Poland left for trucks from Ukraine - SBSU

On March 13, Polish farmers expanded the border blockade to the Korchova-Krakivets checkpoint. As a result, the strike again covered all six cargo checkpoints. Trucks from Ukraine to Poland are not allowed through Shehyni, Yahodyn and Ustyluh at all. However, Polish farmers agreed to partially open the passage of trucks from Ukraine in the direction of Uhrynov. Now this is the only cargo route for cars in the direction of Poland.

“According to information from the Polish side, from 13 to 21 o’clock they (Polish farmers. – Ed.) decided to allow two trucks per hour into Polish territory,” Andriy Demchenko, a representative of the State Border Service of Ukraine (SBSU), told Ukrinform .

In the morning, the State Border Service also reported the resumption of the blockade in front of the Korchova-Krakivets checkpoint. The farmers’ strike began on March 13 at 10:00 Warsaw time. This checkpoint was unblocked on March 9, but only temporarily.

Now representatives of Polish farmers have resumed blocking the road along which trucks move to leave Poland - at a distance of up to 1 km from the checkpoint. There is also a blocking of the A4 motorway at a distance of up to 500 m from the checkpoint.

In addition to Korchova-Krakivets, the blockade of Dorohusk-Yahodyn, Zosyn-Ustyluh, Dolhobychuv-Uhryniv, Hrebenne-Rava-Ruska, and Medyka-Shehyni continues.

It is assumed that the movement of passenger transport (cars and buses) in both directions will be carried out unhindered. Also, on all roads to the Ukrainian border in Poland, where farmers are protesting, since March 13, the Polish police have been tightening security.
