Polish protesters unblock another crossing point on border with Ukraine

Polish farmers have completed the rally at the Zosin-Ustyluh border crossing, allowing lorries to move freely. Source: Colonel Andrii Demchenko, spokesman for the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, in a comment to Ukrainska Pravda Quote: "At 21:10, the Republic of Poland's border guards informed us that Polish farmers had completed their actions to block traffic for cargo vehicles in front of the Polish Zosin checkpoint.

Currently, all vehicles can pass unhindered in both directions."

Details: To Ukrainska Pravda's clarifying question about whether the State Border Guard Service has information on whether Polish farmers intend to renew the blockade in this direction, Demchenko responded: "This is all the information that is available at the moment."
