"The data from Poland’s Border Guard Service indicated that a protest by Polish hauliers may begin today at the Dorohusk crossing point, across from the Ukrainian Yahodyn checkpoint," the statement read.
"As a result, the passage of freight vehicles will be limited to one truck per hour in both directions."
Passenger buses and trucks carrying humanitarian aid will be allowed to pass without restriction.
The protest is expected to last for up to four months.
As of now, freight traffic at the crossing remains normal, but the Ukrainian Border Guard urges drivers to take this into account when planning to cross at Yahodyn–Dorohusk.
In January, the Polish government classified border checkpoints as critical infrastructure to limit future disruptions at the Ukrainian-Polish border.
The suspension of blockades by Polish farmers at checkpoints earlier this year was temporary. In November 2024, Roman Kondrow, one of the protest leaders, warned that demonstrations could resume and become even larger. During negotiations with Agriculture Minister Czesław Siekierski, farmers agreed to submit a list of demands to the ministry.
