Due to difficult weather conditions on the highway Odessa-Kiev blocked about 800 trucks.
This was stated in the commentary to Gromadsky by the deputy head of the Department of Patrol Police Alexei Biloshitsky.
According to him, the largest accumulation of wagons at 117-130 kilometers, for their unlocking involved about 50 patrol police.
He said that there are also restrictions on the movement in the Kiev and Cherkasy regions.
- We warned the drivers, asked not to leave, but this request was neglected, the transport went anyway, we had to stop it. We call on all truckers and owners of vehicles to refrain from moving in this direction and give us the opportunity to clear the highway, - Biloshitsky addressed the drivers.
Recall that in Ukraine during December 18-19 because of the bad weather, 147 settlements in 6 regions were de-energized.
