Protests Continue at Ukraine Border Crossings Despite Temporary Lifting

The blockade by truckers from Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia, protesting against permit-free access for Ukrainian drivers to the EU, has caused significant disruptions and economic impact.

Protesting truck drivers from Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia have been blocking border crossings with Ukraine due to Ukrainian drivers getting permit-free access to the EU.
The blockade was briefly lifted at the Yahodyn-Dorohusk crossing, allowing vehicles and goods to pass through into Ukrainian territory, but was reinstated by evening due to a truck breakdown.
EU Commissioner for Transport Adina Vălean has called for the remaining border crossing points to be unblocked without delay, citing damage to the European economy and supply chains.
The protest has resulted in increased prices of fuel and some food items in Ukraine and delayed drone deliveries to its troops fighting invading Russian forces.
Despite the protests, both Kyiv and Brussels maintain that the access agreement is not negotiable, but Ukraine is open to talks.
