Ukraine says blockade ends at Poland border point

KYIV, Ukraine: Polish truckers on Sunday ended their blockade of a border checkpoint with Ukraine, Ukrainian authorities said, days after the countries discussed resolving a row that has soured ties.

Polish hauliers have blocked crossing points since early November to protest what they say is unfair competition from Ukrainian truckers. 

The Ukrainian border guard on Sunday said on Telegram that the protest at the Medyka-Shehyni checkpoint ended at 9:30 am. The European Union had waived a requirement for Ukrainian transport companies to possess entry permits in a gesture of solidarity after Russia´s invasion in February 2022.
