The blockade will reportedly not affect humanitarian and military freight.

"According to information from the Polish side, there is likely to be a blockade of freight entering Ukraine from 09:00 on 18 April 2024, to 09:00 on 20 April 2024, at the Korczowa-Krakovets checkpoint," the statement reads.

The throughput capacity of the checkpoint will be limited to one vehicle per hour.

Passenger transport traffic – cars and buses – in both directions will be unimpeded.

Background:

• Polish farmers have ceased obstructing the Dołhobyczów-Uhryniv checkpoint.
• On 28 March, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced progress in resolving the problems of agricultural imports and road transport after talks in Warsaw with his Ukrainian counterpart Denys Shmyhal.
