Tensions have risen at the Ukrainian-Polish border due to a blockade by Polish truckers, leading to the blockage of thousands of trucks and the suspension of operations at checkpoints. The European Commission may take measures against Poland, and Slovak hauliers have set up a 'warning blockade' on the border. The blockade has affected the free movement of Ukrainian trucks and the entry of petrol tankers and humanitarian aid to Ukraine. The situation has led to an effort by Ukraine to support the stranded truck drivers, and reports indicate that as many as 20,000 vehicles are stuck on either side of the border due to the blockade.
