VIDEO | Romanian Trucks Blocked In Ukraine For 4 Days, Not Allowed To Pass In Moldova. “War Capture!”
The war in Ukraine, invaded by Russia, has brought hundreds of thousands of refugees to the borders who want to escape the bombing. At the same time, border crossings in Ukraine continue to be transited by freight trucks, but they are blocked by huge refugee trafficking, according to border witnesses.
At the crossing of the Ukrainian border from Mohîliv to the Moldovan customs Otaci, more than ten trucks from Romania have been blocked for four days. Some of the truck drivers are Moldovans with Romanian citizenship, others have only Moldovan citizenship. One of them, Alexandru Patlaciuc, who is 66 years old, spoke for Libertatea about the situation he is in.
“I bring refrigerated display cases from Oriol and take them to Greece. I’ve been here for 4 days. A prosecutor came, they opened the truck, they took pictures, they made an inventory, they made me sign, they took my documents. They told me that I can’t pass because it’s a commodity from Russia, that the Russians are bandits and this is prey to war “, said the driver.
He also said that he could not go and buy food, because he is afraid that his goods will be stolen from the truck: “Today I was hungry. I don’t know what the customs officers want. I can’t even leave without a truck, because they took my passport “.
Alexandru Patlaciuc drives a truck registered in Iași, but there are also trucks from Bacău. Some of Igor Oţel, a businessman who has a Roman or transport company. “They all bring goods from Russia and enter Ukraine before the 24th or even on the morning of the 24th of February. Only two passed, after the invasion there was no one in the customs between Russia and Ukraine.
One has timber for Turkey, another has tires for Greece. Customs officers told them it was Russian goods, a war capture. They told me that for example someone came and took the Turkish drivers and some of them went to Moldova ”.
Igor Otel says that he traveled from Russia to Greece and Turkey before the invasion of Ukraine and employed only Moldovan drivers, many of whom were Romanian citizens. This is because Romanian drivers do not want to race in Russia, especially since the system of view is complicated.
He fears that if he leaves the trucks in Ukrainian customs, he will be left without them and without goods.
He was contacted on Tuesday by the Consul General of Romania in Balti, Petrișor Dumitrescu. He inquired about the fate of the drivers and discussed their situation with the border authorities of the Republic of Moldova. But there is a problem with the Ukrainian customs officers.
Petrișor Dumitrescu told Libertatea that he spoke to one of the drivers from the Moghilev Podilski customs and that he was talking about what we also learned from the truck driver. The consul told us that the Ukrainian side of the customs claims that the truck drivers are blocked because the refugees have priority.
The Romanian official also told us that through the Consular Department of the MFA, steps were taken at the Ukrainian Embassy in Bucharest, in order to help Romanians who want to enter Moldova. “We want to help, that’s why we are, the Romanians to be expelled from Ukraine. But there is a problem with the Ukrainian side of Otaci, where we cannot intervene. But we do everything we can! ”
