“The opening of Ukhriniv is the first point in the list of measures implemented to unblock the border and increase the capacity of the Ukrainian-Polish border,” the statement said.
Kyiv warned on Friday that the consequences of the Polish truck drivers’ protest are catastrophic, while the situation of the Ukrainian drivers stuck at the border is dire.
Long queues have formed on both sides of the border, many truck drivers have been there for days.
Polish truck drivers have been blocking key border crossings on the border with Ukraine for more than three weeks, protesting against what the drivers believe is unfair competition from their Ukrainian colleagues.
Among other things, Polish drivers are demanding the re-introduction of the European Union (EU) permit regime for Ukrainian trucks, which was canceled after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
