Polish hauliers on strike: humanitarian aid is not allowed through

Strike participants in Poland have prevented lorries with humanitarian aid from entering Ukraine. This was reported by the deputy minister of community development, territories and infrastructure of Ukraine, Serhiy Derkach.

Obviously, the statements about the passage of humanitarian aid and dangerous goods also do not correspond to reality. We have recorded numerous facts when tankers with fuel and humanitarian aid are standing in queues, - said the Deputy Minister.

This information is being passed on to the Polish authorities. We are waiting for an answer as to how this corresponds to the statements about the unimpeded crossing of such cargoes.

Today I spent the whole day with the team on the border: Krakivets - Korczowa and Rawa-Russkaya - Grebennoe. At the first checkpoint 1200 lorries are blocked, at Grebennoe - 500, - said Serhiy Derkach.

According to his information, there were no more than 15 protesters at these two checkpoints.

Derkach stressed that actually a dozen people were holding the border hostage.
