Protests by Polish farmers at the Ukrainian border caused delays in humanitarian aid
State Border Guard Service spokesman Andriy Demchenko noted that the protests of Polish farmers on the border with Ukraine caused problems with the delivery of humanitarian aid.
“With the number of border crossings that we have at the moment regarding the movement of trucks, I have doubts that the participants of this blockade are letting through the necessary amount of humanitarian aid that is going to Ukraine in all directions,” Demchenko said.
He emphasized that the traffic is limited and the number of trucks crossing the border is very small, so a queue has formed in Poland, and “most likely they do not even single out trucks carrying humanitarian aid or other important cargo moving to Ukraine.”
When asked if humanitarian aid was stuck at the border, Demchenko replied: “Most likely, yes.”
As a reminder, since February 9, 2024, protests have been taking place on the roads leading through the Dorohusk-Yagodyn and Hrebenne-Rava-Ruska checkpoints on the Polish border with Ukraine.
In the morning of February 12, Polish farmers restricted traffic on the roads leading through the Zosyn-Ustyluh and Dolhobychuv-Uhryniv checkpoints and blocked Shehyni again.
