Truck drivers flooded Hungary, border crossing fell: queue lasts 48h

That comes after the blockade of the Polish and Slovakian shippers. As a result, lorry drivers heading towards Ukraine must come to Hungary, and their only option to cross the border is at Záhony.

According to portfolio.hu, the line of trucks to Záhony reaches 20 kilometres, meaning that more than 1,000 vehicles are in the queue. Some drivers have been waiting for days to get through. The reason is the blockade of the Polish and Slovakian truck drivers concerning all border crossings to Ukraine.

The Polish truck drivers began a protest because their Ukrainian colleagues could enter the Schengen zone without special authorisation after the start of the Russian invasion. That undermines the operation of Polish transport companies.
