• In Zosin, the queue is 8 hours long.

The total number of vehicles in the queue: 880 lorries are waiting for processing in Hrebenné, while this figure is 250 units in Zosin.

Reasons for traffic suspension

Michał Derus, a representative of the Polish authority, explained that the queues are linked to Russian attacks near the border crossing points. He noted that nine air raid alerts were received during several night hours, and their number increased by several more in the morning.

Due to these security threats, the operation of border crossing points is periodically suspended. This applies not only to freight transport but also to passenger cars and buses crossing the border.
