Lack of Clarity on Timelines. Poland Has Closed Its Border with Belarus

"Belarusian customs officers are ready to accommodate increased transport flows on the Lithuanian and Latvian routes should movements be redirected to these border crossings from the Polish side. At checkpoints such as 'Kamуnny Log,' 'Benyakoni,' and 'Grigorovshchina,' shifts have been intensified, and readiness has been ensured to process the maximum number of vehicles," the press service stated.

Currently, at the Lithuanian border outbound to the neighboring country, a total of 740 trucks and over 400 passenger cars are waiting. "This is a typical situation for recent times regarding queue lengths. Over the past 24 hours, Lithuania has processed 20% of freight vehicles and 50% of passenger cars compared to normal," added the State Customs Committee.

On the Latvian side, there are currently no queues. "We continue to monitor the situation at the border," the agency reported.
