About 100 lorries pass through unblocked Ukraine-Poland crossing, Kyiv says

About 100 lorries have passed through a road crossing on Ukraine's border with Poland since Polish truck drivers lifted a blockade there on Monday, Ukrainian deputy infrastructure minister Serhiy Derkach said on Tuesday. He said Kyiv hoped blockades would also be lifted at three other border checkpoints where lorries are backed up because of protests over Ukrainian trucking firms' access to the European Union. Thousands of trucks carrying commercial goods have been backed up for weeks at Polish border crossings with Ukraine because of the protests, which began on Nov. 6.
