Ukraine's customs service warned that a protest by farmers on the Polish side of the Yahodyn-Dorohusk checkpoint will likely block traffic on February 18, as a long line of trucks and other vehicles has already been seen at the crossing. "A complete blockade of traffic for trucks in both directions is expected. Farmers from Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, and France are [expected] to join in a large-scale protest action," it said. Polish protesters seek limits on the amount of Ukrainian agricultural products coming into the EU, and farmers across the continent are protesting against introduction of various environmental requirements.
