Polish farmers to block freight traffic at Grebenne - Rava-Ruska checkpoint on Tuesday

On Tuesday, June 4, Polish farmers plan to block cargo transportation at the Hrebenne - Rava-Ruska checkpoint on the border with Ukraine.

That’s according to the Ukrainian customs service, Ukrinform reports.

"From 10:00 on June 4, Kyiv time, to the afternoon of June 6, Polish farmers are planning to block the cargo section at the Rava-Ruska - Hrebenne checkpoint. Therefore, the movement of trucks out of Ukraine is expected to be put to a full halt," the report reads.

Also, the Polish side will allow into Ukraine no more than 24 trucks per day (two intervals, 12 vehicles in each) and up to four trucks carrying humanitarian cargo.

The State Customs Service asks carriers to take the report into account when planning their routes.

As reported, the Polish-Ukrainian border had been blocked by carriers since November last year, and by Polish farmers – since February this year.

On April 29, Polish farmers finally called off the border blockade.
