In Poland, farmers are blocking truck traffic at three checkpoints on the border with Ukraine, allowing several trucks per hour through or restricting traffic altogether.

The Ukrinform agency reported this today, April 3, with reference to the speaker of the State Border Service Andriy Demchenko.
As of today, the blocking is carried out in the direction of the checkpoints “Yagodin”, “Rava-Russkaya” and “Ugrinov”. Polish farmers resumed blocking the latter yesterday,” he said.
As of this morning, there are a total of 400 trucks in queues across Poland in these three blocked directions.
It is noted that because of “Yagodin” and “Rava-Russkaya”, Polish protesters still do not allow trucks to go towards Poland at all – in these directions, in the last period, zero indicators of border crossings by trucks leaving Ukraine have been recorded.
Because of the Ugrinovs, they noted that they would allow one truck per day towards Poland,” Demchenko noted.
According to the speaker, protesters through the Yagodin checkpoint allow an extremely small number of trucks to leave Poland – there were 60 of them last day.
Cars and buses cross the border freely everywhere – for this category of transport there is no restriction on movement on the other side of the border.
Demchenko recalled that Polish farmers had previously stopped blocking the movement of trucks through the Krakovets, Shegini and Ustilug checkpoints. There is now intense traffic in these directions, both leaving and entering Ukraine. There are still queues in Poland:
- in the direction of Krakovets – 700 trucks;
- “Shegini” – 400.
However, with the intensity of traffic that exists now, drivers do not have to stand in lines for weeks, Demchenko noted.
