Polish farmers tried to block the movement of freight trains at the Dorogusk-Yagodin railway checkpoint. The protesters were at the station for approximately two hours; the Polish police prevented them from blocking the railway tracks, the State Customs Service reported.

As of 22:00 on February 18, train traffic is operating normally, but the movement of trucks in both directions at the Yagodin-Dorogusk checkpoint is completely blocked by Polish farmers who are holding a large-scale protest on the access roads in front of Dorogusk.
Contrary to the protesters’ promises to allow perishable, dangerous or humanitarian cargo through, not a single truck has crossed the border since then, the State Customs Service reports.
Regular buses are allowed to pass as usual, without queues.
Farmers from other countries did not come as Polish protesters promised yesterday
The participation of farmers from other European countries in the Polish protest announced the day before is currently not confirmed by any communication channel, including data from open public sources.
