"Regarding the blocking of checkpoints on the Ukrainian-Polish border... Due to joint efforts of the border guards, local authorities and the National Police last night, we managed to unblock Shehyni and Rava-Ruska checkpoints," Slobodian said.

He also expressed hope that positive progress would not have a retroactive effect, adding that work was continuing with the local population.

"We managed to reach out [to the locals] at the Krakovets border checkpoint. The road leading to the checkpoint is now unblocked," Slobodian said.
