Polish farmers have resumed their protest at the Ustilug-Zosin checkpoint on the border with Ukraine, the blockade of which they symbolically suspended yesterday, February 24, in connection with the second anniversary of the full-scale Russian invasion.

About 2.4 thousand trucks are queuing to enter Ukraine – most of them are opposite the Krakovets, Rava-Russkaya and Yagodin checkpoints. Representative of the State Border Service of Ukraine Andrey Demchenko spoke about this today, February 25, during a national telethon.
Indeed, yesterday, in the direction of the Ustilug checkpoint, they symbolically began to refuse to block the movement of freight vehicles, and within a day we saw a certain revival specifically for freight vehicles,” Demchenko said.
At the same time, according to him, the release of this checkpoint did not significantly affect the situation, since the Ustilug checkpoint is the direction where cargo vehicles weighing less than 7.5 tons can cross the border.
The following checkpoints are currently the most critical in terms of the number of trucks allowed through:
- “Shegini” – 90 trucks over the past 24 hours in both directions;
- “Yagodin” – 50 trucks towards Ukraine, but Polish farmers are still completely blocking the movement of trucks from Ukraine to Poland.
Demchenko added that currently Polish protesters are not blocking the movement of buses and cars at any of the checkpoints.
