At the ‘Yahodyn-Dorohusk’ border crossing, there is a significant outflow of trucks due to traffic blockages by Polish protesters. According to the State Customs Service of Ukraine, the ‘electronic queue, which just yesterday (May 12. — Ed.) had 1391 vehicles, has decreased by almost half and as of this morning stands at 789 empty or loaded vehicles. Carriers are no longer joining the ‘live queue’ for entry into Ukraine, opting for alternative routes instead,” the statement reads.
