BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Hungary's main border crossing with Ukraine saw long queues on Wednesday, the customs authority said, with haulers re-routing from crossings in Poland and Slovakia amid blockades there as truckers seek restrictions on Ukrainian drivers.

Trucks at the Poland-Ukraine crossing are backed up for miles as Polish truckers have blocked roads to three border crossings in a protest, now in its second week.
