This is a joint checkpoint on the Polish side, which usually worked only for cars and buses. From today, December 4, trucks weighing 7.5 tons or more will be able to pass through, the Ministry of Reconstruction reported.

As of today, empty trucks, including tankers, can move without registering in the electronic border crossing queue. The daily capacity is expected to be over 100  trucks. 

A team from the State Security Service of Ukraine will also be on site to maintain traffic order and assist drivers as needed. 

Work is currently underway to implement other measures to unblock the border, the ministry said.

To recap,

Ukraine and Poland have agreed to unblock the Uhryniv-Dolhobyczów checkpoint for empty trucks and to create separate passes for empty vehicles at the Yahodyn-Dorohusk and Krakivets-Korchova checkpoints in the eCheck system.
