As of 07:00 on Monday, 4 December, border guards had cleared 30 heavy vehicles with a total permitted weight of more than 7.5 tonnes to leave Ukraine.
Trucks enter the checkpoint on a general queue basis.
The opening of the Uhryniv checkpoint is the first step in a list of measures to unblock the border, reduce queues and increase the capacity of the Ukrainian-Polish border.
Ukraine hopes that this will allow the blockade to be lifted as soon as possible and provide uninterrupted traffic across the border with Poland.
Background:
- On 1 December, the Ministry for Reconstruction of Ukraine and the Ministry of Infrastructure of Poland agreed to open the Uhryniv-Dołhobyczów checkpoint for empty trucks.
- On 27 November, the Polish authorities warned of temporary restrictions on the clearance of trucks and buses at the Uhryniv-Dołhobyczów border crossing point on the afternoon of 28 November due to repairs. In the evening of 28 November, the checkpoint resumed full operation.
