Polish farmers have resumed their protest blockade at the Ukrainian border crossing due to agricultural imports from the country.
Farmers in Poland have staged sporadic demonstrations at the border since last autumn.
The demonstrators are blocking trucks from leaving Ukraine.
Cargo vehicles heading to Ukraine are allowed to enter by 12 trucks per 12 hours and by four trucks with humanitarian aid per hour, the Ukrainian Border Guard Service said.
Other vehicles are continuing as usual.
“Representatives of Polish farmers demand reduced imports of Ukrainian crops to Polish territory from Ukraine,” the Border Guard Service said.
Disputes over crop imports have strained the relationship between Warsaw and Kyiv, with both countries being major agricultural producers.
Polish farmers have complained that Ukrainian products create uneven competition, particularly since the EU lifted tariffs in 2022.
Poland banned the import of several products from Ukraine, including grain, corn, and rapeseed, in 2023.
