Around 3,300 trucks are stuck in line at blocked checkpoints on the Polish side of the Polish-Ukrainian border as the blockade continues, Border Guard Service spokesperson Andrii Demchenko said on Dec.

Ukraine began using train platforms on Thursday to bypass a border blockade by Polish truck drivers, Ukrzalynitsya, Ukraine's rail network, said.

Weeks of protests at the Polish border with Ukraine have seen haulers waiting up to a fortnight to cross the border.

Ukraine's state-owned railway Ukrzaliznytsia shipped 23 trucks by train that had been stuck at the Polish border amid the ongoing protest and blockade by Polish truckers, the company's press service announced on Dec.
