Two Bulgarian TIR truck drivers have been detained on Ukrainian territory. They are being checked for transporting Russian commodities, the Union of International Haulers has announced. The organization’s director Yordan Arabadzhiev said for the BNR, that all drivers of foreign trucks are told: “You are foreigners. You are transporting Russian goods. They are the goods of our enemies. We are confiscating the trucks.”

The customs system is also closed to such transport. Haulers should perhaps wait a few days to see how the situation will develop, Yordan Arabadzhiev said.
