Romanian farmers have started blocking trucks again through the Siret checkpoint on the Ukrainian border, Ukraine's State Border Guard Service reported on Jan. 14.
According to the State Border Guard Service, "the reasons and approximate duration of the blockade are unknown." However, the movement of passenger cars, buses, and pedestrians is being carried out as usual.
Polish farmers have agreed to suspend their border blockade at the Shehyni-Medyka crossing after reaching an agreement with government representatives, the Polish Agriculture Ministry announced on Jan. 6.
Border Guard Service spokesman Andrii Demchenko said that four border crossings between Poland and Ukraine were blocked as of the morning of Jan. 5.
The blockade was temporarily paused on Dec. 24, but will resume because organizers say that their demands have not been met.
