Quick Glance: State Customs Service: Polish Protesters Cease Border Blockade

The blockade by Polish protesters at the Yahodyn-Dorohusk border crossing on the Polish-Ukrainian border was lifted by Ukraine's State Customs Service on April 22.

Traffic flow in both directions was restored as of 1:40 p.m.

As per Valentyna Chernysh, a representative of the customs office in Volyn Oblast, there were 400 trucks queued on the Polish side of the border, with an additional 140 in a digital queue.

Despite a reduction in border blockades, the State Customs Service indicated on April 17 that Polish protesters intended to block the Korczowa-Krakovets border crossing for a two-day period.

Quick Glance: Russia Strikes Chernihiv: 18 Dead, Ukraine Appeals for Air Defense

At least 18 people were killed and over 60 wounded in Chernihiv due to Russian missile strikes. Ukrainian officials emphasized that the attack could have been prevented with adequate air defense systems.

Russia launched three Iskander cruise missiles at the city, located near the Russian border and previously encircled by Russian troops.

Ukraine currently has three Patriot air defense systems but requires 26 for full coverage. Following appeals for more systems, Germany pledged to send an additional one.

A $60 billion aid package for Ukraine is stalled in the US Congress, allowing Russia to exploit ammunition and air defense shortages and gain ground in the east.

Quick Glance: Ukraine shoots down Russian strategic bomber, nine killed

Russian officials say the plane crashed over the southern Stavropol region due to a technical malfunction.

Ukraine's air force announced that they shot down a Russian strategic bomber with anti-aircraft missiles for the first time since the war began in 2022.

The bomber was downed in Russian airspace, 300km from Ukraine's border, after participating in a long-range airstrike that resulted in the death of at least nine people in the central region of Dnipropetrovsk.

NATO and the USA are planning to provide additional air defense systems to Ukraine for support.

Quick Glance: Polish Authorities Detain Man Allegedly Involved in Russian Espionage for Zelenskyy Assassination Plan

A Polish citizen was detained by Polish authorities on suspicion of spying for Russia's military intelligence to potentially assassinate Ukraine's President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

He intended to share critical details about the Rzeszow-Jasionka airport in southeastern Poland, crucial for international military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine.

In case of a conviction, he could potentially face a sentence of up to eight years in prison.

Prosecutors emphasized the arrest resulted from a close collaboration with Ukrainian counterparts who provided vital information leading to the detainment.

The largest power-generating plant in Ukraine's Kyiv region was destroyed in a Russian missile attack on Thursday, according to the energy company Centrenergo.
