Traffic across one checkpoint on Ukrainian-Polish border remains complicated - State Border Service

MOSCOW. April 24 (Interfax) - The truck traffic on the border with Poland is complicated only towards the Hrebenne - Rava-Russkaya checkpoint as of Wednesday, April 24, Ukrainian media reported, citing Ukrainian State Border Service spokesman Andrei Demchenko.

"Currently, in this direction there is still a possibility of crossing the border for trucks in two directions, but it is lower than the throughput capacity and before the blocking of traffic," Demchenko said during a telethon on Wednesday.

Polish farmers did not let trucks pass through from Ukraine to Poland at all until April 21, Demchenko said.

Over 60 trucks have passed through the Rava-Russkaya checkpoint towards Poland over the past 24 hours, the service said. The number of trucks passed in this direction towards Ukraine is twice as much as those entering Poland, Demchenko said.

The Yagodin checkpoint, "the largest infrastructural direction on the border with Poland," has already been unblocked, he said. "It has almost regained those indicators, as it was before the traffic blockade," he added.

On April 20, the Ukrainian State Border Service said that Polish farmers had stopped blocking trucks in front of the Medyka - Shegini and Krakovets-Korczowa border checkpoints.

On April 22, the service said that the truck traffic had resumed at the Yagodin-Dorohusk checkpoint on the Ukrainian-Polish border.
