For our part, we have started collecting data for the evacuation of our drivers. We have already run out of time to agree on compromises. Now our drivers are suffering in sub-zero temperatures from the actions of a few people who have blocked the border with the consent of the local authorities. We have repeatedly raised issues at the working and official levels regarding food, ambulances, fire trucks, proper sanitary conditions - all of this is missing. Instead, we continue to see messages about the approval of the continuation of the protest by the local authoritie
According to Derkach, Ukraine will evacuate all drivers who have expressed such a desire, but for this it is necessary to fill out an evacuation form.
