Polish protesters end 2.5-hour blockade of Ukraine truck crossing at Medyka-Shehyni

Polish protesters have ended their blockade of truck traffic at the Medyka-Shehyni border crossing, according to State Border Guard Service spokesman Colonel Andriy Demchenko.

“The Polish side reported the cessation of truck traffic blockade by protesters and the resumption of truck processing at their checkpoint at 15:30,” Demchenko told Ukrainska Pravda.

The blockade began Saturday at 12:50 Kyiv time when Polish demonstrators launched an action blocking traffic before the Medyka checkpoint, opposite Ukraine’s Shehyni crossing point.

Restrictions will reportedly last at least 6 hours with possible extension.

The protest site was located approximately one kilometer from the Polish Medyka checkpoint. Movement restrictions applied only to freight vehicles – passenger cars and buses continued crossing in normal mode.

At the time of the blockade, 681 freight vehicles were registered in the electronic queue for departure from Ukraine. Around 100 trucks waiting to enter Ukraine were already stationed at a specially equipped parking area, with their processing unaffected by the protest.

Border guards promised to provide additional updates on any changes or complications to traffic flow. The blockade lasted approximately 2.5 hours before Polish authorities announced its termination.
