On 9 March, Poland's border guards informed the Ukrainian side that Polish farmers plan to temporarily stop blocking traffic at the Korczowa-Krakovets checkpoint near the Polish-Ukrainian border until 13 March, according to the spokesman for the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, Andriy Demchenko, Interfax Ukraine reports.
The announced three-day-long suspension of the blockade at one of six checkpoints may provide a very insignificant relief to the gridlock caused by blockades staged by Polish agricultural workers.
Uncertainty looms as Ukrainian border guards remain skeptical about whether the farmers will indeed follow through on lifting the blockade at Poland's Korczowa checkpoint. Andrii Demchenko, a spokesperson for Ukraine's State Border Guard Service, expressed doubts, stating,
"But whether this will be observed, whether they will indeed unblock the Krakovets checkpoint direction until the 13th, we'll see."
