About 360 trucks are queued at Romania’s Siret crossing to Ukraine. Border Police, as reported by Digi24, attributed the congestion to higher pre-holiday freight volumes and limited Ukrainian capacity to receive freight vehicles.
Border Police said Siret can normally process roughly 250 trucks in 12 hours, while Ukrainian authorities receive an average of 170 to 200 freight vehicles over the same period. Those figures describe a stated capacity gap of about 50 to 80 vehicles; they do not measure how many trucks are being added to the queue in each 12-hour period.
The queue therefore points to a pressure at the handover between the two sides when freight volumes rise, rather than establishing a failure by Romanian border staff. Border Police said all three freight lanes at Siret are in use and that officers are checking trucks in the line with mobile eDAC equipment.
Romanian authorities said they are discussing ways with Ukrainian counterparts to process more trucks. The report gives no average waiting time, cargo types or forecast for how long the congestion will last; the result of the talks will be reflected in the queue and crossing times.
