With snow and sub-freezing temperatures forecast through Friday, restrictions on trucks entering Kyiv are expected to continue off and on. At a peak, 3,000 trucks were stopped outside the capital, with their drivers waiting for roads to clear. At eight entry points to the city, the State Emergency Service pitched warming tents, offering hot tea and biscuits. Last night, after rush hour traffic jams subsided, trucks were allowed into the city, alleviating fears of shortages in supermarkets.
