Polish Farmers Block Ukraine Border Crossing Once Again, Halting Truck Exports

Polish have farmers organized a new blockade at the “Rava-Ruska-Grebenne” crossing point. This has resulted in restricted movement for trucks heading to Ukraine, with the exit completely blocked.

Since November 2023, Polish farmers have been protesting on and off at the Ukrainian border. However, the wave of blockades ended by late April.

Now, the organizers of the action announced a new blockade, where the checkpoint will be blocked from 10:00 a.m. Tuesday to 2:00 p.m. Thursday, June 6, and truck traffic will be blocked on the highway to the checkpoint.

Protesters are not allowing trucks to leave Ukraine. Trucks are allowed to enter Ukraine according to the previously announced schedule: 12 vehicles per 12 hours, as well as 4 trucks carrying humanitarian aid per hour.

The movement of other vehicles proceeds as usual.

“Representatives of Polish farmers demand reduced imports of Ukrainian crops to Polish territory from Ukraine,” the Border Guard Service said on Telegram.
