Direct speech: “Ukrainian border guards received information about this at around 9:30 p.m. the day before from representatives of the Polish Border Guard. They noted that Polish farmers had completed blocking the movement of cargo vehicles entering and leaving Poland.

Therefore, registration of this category of transport began to be carried out in the usual manner.”

Details: According to Demchenko, as of this morning, 4 directions “Yagodin”, “Ustylug”, “Ugryniv” and “Rava Ruska” remain blocked for truck traffic.

In the direction of these checkpoints, Polish farmers allow a different number of trucks to pass in both directions, but, for example, along “Rava Ruska” and “Yagodin”, as before, cargo vehicles from Ukraine to Poland are not allowed to pass. In addition, in the direction of “Yagodina” the protesters let a rather insignificant number of trucks that go to Ukraine pass, the spokesperson of the DPSU noted. Over the past day, there were only 50 of them, which is a critically low indicator for this direction, he added.

In total, as of the morning of March 21, there are almost 850 trucks in queues on 4 blocked routes on the territory of Poland. The biggest one is opposite “Yagodin” and “Rava Ruska”.

In other directions of the western border, according to Demchenko, there are also queues, because transport drivers choose other sections due to the difficulty of traffic on the Ukrainian-Polish section. In particular, in front of the “Tysy” checkpoint on the territory of Hungary, the queue of trucks reaches 1,000 cars, another 530 cars are in a queue in front of the “Uzhgorod” checkpoint on the Slovak side, and almost 400 vehicles. on the Romanian-Ukrainian border, opposite the “Porubne” PP.
