At 9:00 a.m. today, we started a blockade of trucks at the Polish-Belarusian border crossing in Kukuryki. We demand to stop trade between the EU and Russia immediately, because every product, every euro that feeds the Russian economy, is killing Ukrainians. We have the power to stop it!

All residents of the temporarily occupied territories of Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions are citizens of Ukraine according to Ukrainian legislation (even if you were forced to take an illegal Russian passport)!
