Participants in the trade blockade of ORDLO, which also intend to block the commodity rail service with Russia, on Sunday, March 12, unsuccessfully tried to establish a stronghold on the branch of Kupyansk-Sorting.

According to the press service of the General Directorate of the NPU in the Kharkov region, around 14:00 a "group of radical-minded people" set up a tent with an observation point on the territory of the railway station in order not to miss the movement of convoys with coal from Russia.

About 500 people went to the action against the blockade. The action was previously announced by the local trade union of railway workers. The police pointed to the presence among the opponents of the blockade of "representatives of the public, deputies of local councils and veterans of the ATU".

About 100 law enforcement officers guarded the public order on the spot. After talking with police and opponents of the blockade, activists turned the tent and left the territory of the railway station.
