About 20 drivers stuck on the border with Poland express their desire for evacuation at the time of evacuation ” - reports Sergey Derkach, Deputy Minister of Community Development, Territories and Infrastructure of Ukraine. The situation arose through the strike of Polish carriers, who blocked three gearboxes at the border with Ukraine.
"We have announced yesterday to take some drivers to Ukraine. Today there are about 20 drivers who have announced and wrote that they have the desire to go to Ukraine for a certain period of time," Derkach said.
Drivers who have expressed a desire to evacuate will receive help in crossing the border in both directions. This issue is also legal, and Derkach stressed that this would be legally resolved.
"When we talk about the return of drivers, we also talk about the legal component. We pick you up, bring you up, it is clearly in the legal plane of what you have to cross the border to Ukraine and back to the truck. This issue we must definitely legally solve," Derkach added.
The State Border Service also expressed their willingness to grant permission to cross the border with drivers who wish to return. This decision is determined by legal aspect and demonstrates an understanding of the difficulties faced by drivers.
This situation arose from the strike of carriers in Poland, which also blocked three border crossing points with Ukraine. According to the data, the strike began on November 6 and should last until January 2024, which led to numerous difficulties for drivers and entrepreneurs who are expecting the smooth operation of transport routes across the border
