Polish farmers continue to obstruct or restrict traffic for trucks on the border with Ukraine. In particular, at the Zosin-Ustyluh checkpoint, protesters will not allow any truck to leave Ukraine. Six trucks will be allowed to enter Ukraine every hour. This was reported by the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.

The protesters are currently obstructing or blocking traffic in the direction of the Dorohusk-Yahodyn, Zosin-Ustyluh, Dolhobychuv-Uhryniv, Hrebenne-Rava-Ruska, and Medyka-Shehyni checkpoints.

"In particular, in recent days, due to their protests, no trucks have been allowed to cross the Ukrainian checkpoints of Yahodyn and Shehyni towards the Republic of Poland at all. As for leaving Poland through these checkpoints, an extremely limited number of trucks are allowed to pass through," the border guards said.

Over the past day, 42 trucks were cleared for entry into Ukraine at Yahodyne, and 29 trucks were cleared at Shehyni.

Also, according to the Polish side, today, on 11 March, from 9.00 a.m., the protesters have been preventing trucks travelling through the Uhryniv checkpoint from entering Poland. Four lorries were reportedly allowed to leave Poland every hour.

Later, at 9.21 a.m., the Poles reported that no trucks would be allowed to pass the protesters in front of the Zosin-Ustyluh checkpoint to leave Ukraine. They did not specify how long the blockade would last. Instead, six trucks will be allowed to enter Ukraine every hour.

The movement of cars and buses is not restricted in all directions.
