The first snow that fell this weekend in Volyn clearly reflects the desolation of Yagodina. In the 79 years since the foundation of the crossing, none of the local old-timers have dreamed of such surreal landscapes, even in their worst dreams.

Over the past weekend, over six work shifts, according to the memorandum indicators approved in June 2022, 1.8 thousand vehicles should pass through the Yagodin-Dorogusk international road crossing in each direction.
Volyn customs said that due to the ongoing protest of Polish carriers, 317 trucks were registered for entry into Ukraine, and 47 were registered for leaving the state. Compared to the optimal number of vehicles that can cross the border through this road crossing, only 1/ Part 10 of the memorandum.
The design capacity of Yagodina, built in 2012, is 1.6 thousand trucks per day, 4 thousand cars and 100 buses.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine counted 15 Polish strikers who are holding thousands of cars hostage.
Deputy Minister of Infrastructure Sergei Derkach estimated that there were only 15 Polish strikers at two checkpoints with Poland – Krakovets – Korchowa and Rava Russkaya – Grebennoye – on Sunday. At the same time, 1,200 trucks are blocked at the first checkpoint, and 500 trucks at the second.
There were no more than 15 protesters at these two checkpoints. In fact, a dozen people are holding the border hostage,” he said.
If the Polish authorities do not resolve the problem of blocking border crossings with Ukraine, the European Commission may begin disciplinary proceedings against Poland. RMF24 writes about this.
The Polish authorities are obliged to ensure the flow of goods from Ukraine through the so-called solidarity corridors, the publication reports.
The Polish authorities are obliged, in accordance with EU legislation, to ensure the free movement of Ukrainian trucks at border crossings, a representative of the European Commission said in a comment to RMF FM.
Some in the European Commission believe that the Polish authorities are not doing everything possible to solve the problem and stop the protest of Polish carriers. Brussels is clearly losing patience, writes the Polish publication.
