On November 13, representatives of the Ministry of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure of Ukraine will hold a meeting at the border with representatives of the Polish side to unblock the checkpoints. According to the ministry, representatives of the Ministry of Infrastructure of Poland, representatives of voivodeships, the European Commission's Directorate for Mobility, the Ukrainian Embassy in Poland, and carriers have been invited to the meeting.
It is noted that the Ministry of Reconstruction will be represented by Deputy Minister Serhiy Derkach.
He said: "It is important to talk to our drivers and carriers who are stuck on the Polish side of the border. We receive various information from social networks, complaints about inadequate conditions and problems with law enforcement agencies, and we will check them on the spot. We will decide how to get the Ukrainians waiting in lines home."
As a result of the talks between Derkach and Rafał Weber, State Secretary of the Ministry of Infrastructure of Poland, the Ukrainian side has already resolved two issues raised by their Polish colleagues. These are the functioning of lanes for empty vehicles directly at the "Yahodyn-Dorohusk" checkpoint and the update of the "yeCherha" system functionality - the ability to replace drivers for empty trucks.
At the same time, the Ukrainian side once again suggested that Polish colleagues run empty vehicles through the "Uhryniv-Dolhobychiv" checkpoint, where there is a dedicated lane. Such an option would allow empty trucks to reduce the waiting time for crossing the border, the Ministry of Reconstruction noted.
As a reminder, on November 6, Polish carriers began a blockade of truck traffic near the three largest checkpoints on the border with Ukraine: "Krakowiec-Korczowa", "Yahodyn-Dorohusk, and "Rava-Ruska-Hrebene".
