"The Ministry of Infrastructure encourages those carriers who stopped their vehicles fearing the blockade to keep moving. This can be done by changing the route to detour the specified points or by ordering support of specialized vehicles of the National Police at the checkpoints on the state border. For this, it is necessary to apply to the customs or border guards who provide information and help order the support of the National Police of Ukraine.

"The position of the state remains unchanged: Ukraine continues to fulfill its obligations to ensure the unimpeded transit. The operational headquarters is in full control of the situation and is ready to provide explanations and support for the transit through the territory of Ukraine," the report reads.
