According to Demchenko, farmers are blocking traffic at Yahodyn, Ustyluh, Uhryniv, Rava-Ruska, Shehyni and Krakivets checkpoints
In total, as of this morning, about 2,200 trucks were queuing up to cross into Ukraine in these areas (where farmers are blocking traffic). Most of them are in front of the Krakowiec, Rava-Ruska and Yagodyn checkpoints
According to him, the smallest number of trucks cross the border at the Yahodyn checkpoint. Last night, about 50 trucks crossed into Ukraine.
In recent days, Polish farmers have not let a single truck traveling from Ukraine to Poland in this direction through.
"The number of people crossing the border from Ukraine to Poland (through the Yahodyn checkpoint - ed.) remains zero," Demchenko emphasized.
The figures for the number of border crossings in the direction of the Shehyni checkpoint are also critically low. According to Demchenko, only 70 trucks crossed the border here yesterday.
"In general, Polish farmers let through several trucks per hour in each direction, both those coming from Poland and those going to Poland. But they block traffic for trucks coming from Ukraine more than anything else," said Demchenko.
