A total of 1,050 lorries are waiting on the Polish side, with a queue length of 26 kilometres. Although the protesters had previously announced their intention to let only one lorry through every three hours, recently they have been letting five lorries through per hour.
Over the past 24 hours, 149 lorries have crossed the border toward Ukraine. Some more hauliers left the queue and went to look for another way. In total, the queue decreased by 350 lorries.
The estimated wait time for border crossing is now 135 hours, or 5-6 days, compared to 30 days on Tuesday.
But only one lorry passed through the Dorohusk-Yahodyn checkpoint to enter Poland.
Over the past day, 120 lorries have passed at the Hrebenne checkpoint toward Ukraine, and another 800 are waiting in line.
More than 700 hauliers are waiting at the Medyka checkpoint; the wait time is four days.
About 600 lorries are waiting at the Korczowa-Krakovets checkpoint.
Background:
- On Monday, 18 December, the hauliers resumed the blockade of the Dorohusk-Yahodyn checkpoint after it was temporarily halted due to a ban by local authorities.
- The hauliers plan to protest until March. The blockade also continues at the Hrebenne and Korchova checkpoints.
- Last week, representatives of the relevant ministries of Ukraine and Poland agreed on actions to unblock the border.
- Newly-appointed Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk believes that the blockade of the Ukrainian border will stop soon.
