On the Ukrainian-Polish border, protesters began to block passenger buses. Buses are also stopped by the Polish police.

This was announced by the Minister of Infrastructure Oleksandr Kubrakov.

«Unpleasant news is coming from the blocked Polish border. Protesters and police stop buses going to and from Poland. Passengers are being held without any explanation,» he wrote.

The minister emphasized that these actions are unacceptable in relation to the citizens of Ukraine.

«During the war in Ukraine, the passengers of such buses are women with young children, socially vulnerable sections of the population, military personnel returning or going to training, and people in transit. The attempt to make them hostages of protest seems inappropriate for the civilized world,» Oleksandr Kubrakov added.

The Ambassador of Ukraine to Poland, Vasyl Zvarych, said that traffic is being blocked in front of the checkpoint «Yahodyn — Dorohusk». The consul of Ukraine in Lublin went there.

As of today, protesters are complicating or blocking traffic in the direction of the checkpoints «Dorobusk - Yahodyn», «Zosyn — Ustyluh», «Dolhobychuv — Uhryniv», «Hrebene — Rava-Ruska», «Medyka — Shehyni».
