Also, customs officers do not record any obstacles to truck traffic, the spokeswoman added.
At the same time, the Slovaks, who promised to start blocking the border at 3 p.m., warned Zakarpattia customs officers that they would not allow Ukrainian trucks to enter Slovakia.
As Ukrinform reported, today, December 11, Polish carriers finished blocking the Dorohusk-Yahodyn checkpoint on the border with Ukraine. Currently, traffic through this checkpoint on the border with Poland is free.
On November 6, Polish carriers began a blockade of truck traffic near the three largest checkpoints on the border with Ukraine: Korczowa-Krakivets, Hrebenne-Rava-Ruska, and Dorohusk-Yahodyn. Among the main demands is the return of the practice of permits for Ukrainian carriers, abolished by the agreement with the EU, by June 30, 2024.
