We are talking about the points “Grebnoye-Rava-Russkaya”, “Korcheva-Krakovets”, “Dorogusk-Yagodin”. For technical reasons, in Korchev they blocked only the entrance to Ukraine; at other checkpoints, they claim, both entry and exit are blocked.
Protesters are demanding that Ukrainian transport firms be required to obtain permits again. They also want Poland not to have to stand in the e-queue in Ukraine, because they say that in some places they have to live in cars for two weeks.
In the Lublin Voivodeship of Poland, bordering Volyn and Lviv regions, the protest will take place on the access roads to border crossings.
So there won’t be any disorganization at the border crossing itself,” says Majena Semeniuk from the Chamber of Tax Administration in Lublin.
The carriers assured that in real time they would transport humanitarian cargo towards Ukraine, military vehicles, as well as fuel and perishable products without complications. All other trucks will pass through one per hour. Private cars and buses will be able to pass in both directions without any problems, reports Polish Radio.
The picketers demand a ban on the registration in Poland of transport companies with foreign capital, as a result of which Polish entrepreneurs are being forced out of the market. They also demand the renewal of entry permits into the European Union for Ukrainian carriers and improved services at the border.
They promise to close the border around the clock. They say that they have permission to hold a picket until January 3. Their strike was supported by the anti-Ukrainian Confederation party that entered the new parliament.
