Quote: "At around 14:00 on 13 February, Polish farmers initiated a protest near the Korczowa border crossing point, opposite the Ukrainian point Krakovets.

Ukrainian border guards received information from their Polish counterparts that the protesters intend to block the movement of lorries heading into Ukraine for one hour. 

The blockade will not affect passenger transport."

Due to protest actions by Polish farmers, the movement is restricted through five border crossing points on the Ukrainian-Polish border.
