"On 18 February, no lorries at all were allowed through at Yahodyn. Cars and buses could proceed as normal. As of this morning, a total of about 2,900 lorries are waiting to cross the border into Ukraine at these six checkpoints, mostly at Yahodyn and Krakivets," the spokesman said.

He noted that there has been a significant decrease in the number of lorries crossing the border per day, especially at the Yahodyn and Shehyni checkpoints.
