At the border, Polish protesters blocked a bus from Ukraine, and one of the passengers was "detained" by unknown persons.

According to media reports, Polish protesters stopped a passenger bus at the Rava Ruska-Hrebenne border crossing point. One of the passengers, previously an Israeli citizen, was detained by unknown persons.
"The situation is already starting to get out of hand and beyond the bounds of civilized protest. There are women and children on the bus who cannot be held hostage to any protest. I emphasized this during a conversation with Jacek Siewera, the head of Poland's National Security Bureau. This is a dangerous picture that will be fully used by the Russians to split European unity.
We are sure that such actions are supported by an absolute minority in Poland. I am sure that the Polish government definitely does not support such actions. Their immediate reaction is important," Kubrakov commented on the situation.
According to him, as of 5:30 p.m., passenger traffic is hampered at the Dolhobychuv-Uhryniv and Zosin-Ustyluh checkpoints.
