Tensions on the Polish-Ukrainian border have reached a new level: Polish farmers have organized a blockade of Ukrainian trucks near the "Medyka-Shegyny" checkpoint.
As reported by the State Customs Service of Ukraine, blocking occurs "through the constant movement of citizens through the pedestrian crossing in front of the checkpoint on the Polish side."
The agency reminds that the Poles were going to let one truck per hour into Ukraine, and release only cars weighing less than 3.5 tons. Large trucks will not be able to pass to Poland.
The protesters were not going to restrict the movement of buses and cars in both directions.
The blocking period is tentatively until the end of the year.
