Poland set to close border to freight vehicles registered in Belarus and Russia

Freight trucks registered in either Belarus or Russia will not be permitted entry into Poland when entering through its border with Belarus, according to a government order published on May 29.

Starting June 1, the movement of goods across the Poland-Belarus border via trucks, tractors and trailers which are registered in either Belarus or Russia will be suspended until further notice, reads the document. It does not mention whether this would also apply to Poland’s border with Russia’s Kaliningrad region.
