A representative of the State Border Service of Ukraine, Andriy Demchenko, said on air of the Rada TV channel that about 2.4 thousand lorries had piled up at six checkpoints on the Ukrainian-Polish border blocked by Polish farmers.
“The blockade continues at all six checkpoints. As of this morning, about 2.4 thousand lorries are queuing. Most of all in front of the checkpoints “Krakivets”, “Ravva-Russkaya” and “Yahodyn”,” Andriy Demchenko said.
According to him, the day before, Polish farmers symbolically eased the blockade at the Ustilug checkpoint, but on the whole it did not affect the situation.
Demchenko specified that the protesters did not block the movement of buses and cars at any of the checkpoints.
Earlier, former Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said that Warsaw would demand that the European Union return the need for Ukrainian carriers to obtain a permit to enter Europe.
