Overview

• Polish truckers have blocked two border crossings in protest against unregulated activity by Ukrainian transport companies, causing delays of up to two weeks.
• Polish road transport authorities are in talks with their Ukrainian counterparts to address the grievances.
• Polish truckers are demanding official permissions for Ukrainian transport firms, a regulation that would come under the European Union as Poland's border with Ukraine is an EU border.
• Polish truckers also want speedier procedures on the Ukraine side and the opening of another crossing only for empty trucks to decongest the traffic.
• Most of the trucks that are stuck at the border crossings carry Ukrainian plates.
