Ukraine's Border Service says traffic has resumed through one of three border crossings with Romania blocked by protesting haulers and farmers. "The blocking of truck traffic through the Vicovu De Sus checkpoint opposite the Ukrainian border crossing of Krasnoilsk has ended. Traffic has resumed," the Border Service said on January 19. Two other crossings, Siret-Porubne and Halmeu-Dyakovo remain partially or completely blocked. Romanian protesters are demanding a moratorium on loan repayments, faster subsidy payments, and separate lines at border crossings and the Romanian Black Sea port of Constanta for non-EU trucks, including Ukraine.
