Polish truckers on December 24 ended their blockade of a border checkpoint with Ukraine, Kyiv said, days after the countries discussed resolving a row that has soured ties. Polish haulers have blocked crossing points since early November to protest what they say is unfair competition from Ukrainian truckers. The Ukrainian border guard on December 24 said the protest at the Medyka-Shehyni checkpoint ended at 9:30 a.m., with the registration and crossing of trucks resuming "as usual." The European Union had waived a requirement for Ukrainian transport companies to possess entry permits in a gesture of solidarity after Russia's invasion in February 2022.
