Striking Polish carriers ended the blockade of the Ukrainian-Polish border. Ambassador of Ukraine to Poland Vasily Zvarych announced this on Facebook, who visited the Dorogusk-Yagodin and Zosin-Ustyluh checkpoints on Saturday..

“Today, together with. Consul General of Ukraine in Lublin Artem Valakh and First Secretary for Border Affairs of the Embassy Andriy Zagorsky visited the checkpoints in Dorohusk and Zosin to see for themselves the implementation of the agreements reached at a high level between Ukraine and Poland on the settlement of the crisis situation at the border,” writes the head.

“Based on the results of what I saw and heard in conversations with the Polish commandants of these checkpoints, as well as the leadership of the Lutsk border detachment, I can state:.

Dorogusk: protest of Polish carriers suspended, traffic on the Polish section of the checkpoint resumed.

Polish services in an enhanced mode issue trucks for entry and exit from / to Poland. All lanes work. According to the relevant bilateral memorandum, today the minimum figure is 300 cars per shift (12 hours). We are working to increase these limits as much as possible.. But in fact, more trucks will be issued anyway, ”writes Zvarych.

According to him, the only request from the Polish side is that Ukrainian carriers take care of the proper preparation of accompanying documentation for the cargo and that drivers have a complete set of documents necessary for traveling abroad..

The ambassador also noted that empty cargo vehicles en route from Ukraine to Poland, by the forces of Ukrainian border guards and the national police, are sent to the Ustilug-Zosin checkpoint, where from 7. 00 am on September 9, they began to issue them to leave Ukraine. This will unload queues at checkpoints on the Ukrainian side.

“It is important that there is mutual political will and desire to solve the problem together. We continue to work together so that the queues at the border become smaller and smaller,” the ambassador said..

Recall that due to the blockade by striking Polish carriers of border crossings with Ukraine, hundreds and even thousands of trucks accumulated on them.

In particular, due to the strike of carriers from the Polish side at the Dorogusk-Yagodyn checkpoint, the queue for entry into Ukraine stretched for 58 kilometers..

Recall also that on September 9, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki arrived in Kyiv on a visit.. the problem of congestion at border crossings was also discussed.
