Ukraine says movement of lorries restored after suspension of protest, but truckers’ blockades of three other crossings continue

Polish farmers have ended their blockade of one of the border crossings between Ukraine and Poland and the movement of lorries has been fully restored, the Ukrainian border service has said.

“Truck traffic has been restored: Polish farmers have ended the blockade in front of the Medyka-Shehyni crossing,” the service said on the Telegram messaging app on Sunday.

The service quoted the Polish border guard as saying that the protest action in front of the crossing ended at 9.30am Kyiv time (0730 GMT) on Sunday.

“Registration and crossing of trucks entering Ukraine is carried out as usual,” it added.

    “Truck traffic has been restored: Polish farmers have ended the blockade in front of the Medyka-Shehyni crossing,” the service said on the Telegram messaging app on Sunday.

    The service quoted the Polish border guard as saying that the protest action in front of the crossing ended at 9.30am Kyiv time (0730 GMT) on Sunday.

    Ukraine’s deputy prime minister, Oleksandr Kubrakov, said on Thursday that Kyiv hoped to reach an agreement with the new Polish government to end truck blockades at the border crossings.

    Poland’s newly appointed prime minister, Donald Tusk, said last week that the new government would try to put a quick end to the truck drivers’ protest.

    Russian forces fired 71 shells at Kherson from Saturday to Sunday morning, hitting the city centre, residential areas, medical and educational institutions and “critical infrastructure facilities”, Oleksandr Prokudin wrote on Telegram.

    It is now a regular target for Moscow’s forces based on the opposite bank of the Dnipro River, which became a natural frontline as the conflict slowed to a war of attrition.
