What preceded
Recall that on January 4, on the road in front of the Medika checkpoint, adjacent to the Ukrainian checkpoint Shegini, farmers resumed blocking traffic for freight transport, which was suspended for the Christmas holidays from December 24th. The farmers said they had not received the appropriate written assurances signed by Prime Minister Donald Tusk that their demands had been met. This became the basis for the restoration of the border blockade on January 4.
On the morning of January 5, there are two thousand trucks in queues at blocked checkpoints in Ukraine and Poland. On sections of the border with other countries, truck traffic is not blocked. In particular, blocking of the directions of checkpoints continues “Rava-Ruska-Hrebene”, “Krakovets-Korcheva”, “Yagodin-Dorohusk”, border guards report.
November 6, 2023 Polish carriers blocked the movement of trucks on the border with Ukraine at the Yagodin – Dorogusk and Krakovets – Korczowa checkpoints , “Rava-Russkaya – Khrebene”. On November 23, Polish farmers joined them at the Shegini-Medika checkpoint, putting forward their demands.
