A month before the incident, on November 6, Polish carriers began strikes, effectively barricading three critical border crossing points for freight transport: Korczowa — Krakovets, Rava-Ruska — Grebenne, and Dorohusk — Yahodin.
At the heart of the carriers' protest are a set of demands, including the reinstatement of permits for Ukrainian carriers, the enforcement of stricter transport regulations for foreign carriers, the establishment of a dedicated queue in the E-line for vehicles sporting EU license plates, and securing access to the Shlyakh (Way) system.
