- By the morning of December 4, border guards had cleared 30 empty heavy vehicles exceeding 7.5 tonnes for departure.
- Protests by Polish truckers over what they view as unfair Ukrainian competition began November 6 and now block four crossings.
- Polish hauliers mainly demand restored permits for Ukrainian truckers, while Kyiv and Brussels say reinstating them is impossible.
- A senior Ukrainian official said prolonged protests could cost Kyiv one percentage point of GDP growth.
The ultimate goal of the work is to unblock the border, which has been blocked for a month on the Polish side and has critical consequences for the economies of both countries and the European market.— Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Oleksandr Kubrakov said on X on Sunday.

- Polish truckers plan to renew their blockade at the vital Dorohusk-Jagodzin border crossing after a court overturned local orders to end protests.
- The protesters demand the repeal of last year’s EU-Ukraine transport agreement and want the previous permit system reinstated to curb unfair competition from Ukrainian hauliers.
- The blockade has caused long truck queues and affects nearly half of all freight traffic between Poland and Ukraine.
- High-level talks have yet to resolve the standoff, complicated by the involvement of Polish farmers who oppose cheap Ukrainian grain entering their markets.
