On the night of March 8-9, Polish farmers stopped blocking the Krakovets-Korchevaya emergency direction, so we see the intensity of traffic at this checkpoint… But, of course, there is still a queue in this direction. As of this morning, this is about 600 trucks… In five directions where traffic is blocked or traffic for cargo vehicles is becoming more difficult, there are about 1,700 trucks in queues as of this morning. Most of all, it’s opposite the state of emergency “Yagodin,” said Demchenko.

This morning we received information from Polish border guards that the protesters decided not to allow cargo vehicles to pass in the direction of the Ugrinov emergency situation. We are talking about those cargo vehicles that travel from Ukraine to Poland,” the speaker noted.
