Details: Demchenko said the blockade is currently ongoing. The protesters are positioned at a certain distance from the border on the highway leading to the border, obstructing the lorry traffic.
In particular, as Demchenko noted, the protesters did not allow any lorries to enter Poland during the past day.
“We hope that these actions will stop today as announced. We received information from our Polish counterparts that these actions should cease at 14:00 today,” said Demchenko.
Background:
- Since 4 June, the Poles have been blocking lorry traffic at the Rava-Ruska checkpoint on the border with Ukraine.
- Before this, the last border blockade ended at the end of April, after a request from Polish PM Donald Tusk.
