At border crossings in the Lublin Voivodeship of Poland, the processing of transport documents is temporarily suspended due to the risk of significant queues. According to the Polish tax administration, the waiting time for transport varies significantly depending on the crossing point.
Michal Derus, a representative of the tax administration in Lublin, explained that there were nine air raid alerts during several nighttime hours, and new warnings were issued in the morning. Due to the threat, it is necessary to temporarily suspend the processing of not only freight transport, but also passenger cars and buses.
Despite the delays, employees of the customs and tax authorities at the border crossings in the Lublin voivodeship processed and allowed more than 3000 trucks and more than 3700 passenger cars during the previous day. Currently, international trains cannot operate according to the schedule, and the wagons are waiting to be dispatched for almost two days.
