Quote: "At 21:10, the Republic of Poland's border guards informed us that Polish farmers had completed their actions to block traffic for cargo vehicles in front of the Polish Zosin checkpoint.

Currently, all vehicles can pass unhindered in both directions."

Details: To Ukrainska Pravda's clarifying question about whether the State Border Guard Service has information on whether Polish farmers intend to renew the blockade in this direction, Demchenko responded: "This is all the information that is available at the moment."

Background: 

• The State Customs Service of Ukraine reported that on 21 March, the Poles would temporarily suspend their protest related to the partial restriction of vehicle traffic in front of the Zosyn-Ustyluh checkpoint.
• On 21 March, Polish farmers stopped blocking lorry traffic at the Medyka-Shehyni checkpoint.
• Thus, three checkpoints on the border with Poland remain blocked: Yahodyn, Uhryniv and Rava-Ruska.
