#Ukraine Volodymyr Balin from Ukrainian federation of transport industry in a long interview on Alpha Media about the situation on the #Poland border:

He he speaks of numerous "manipulations" on the Ukrainian side, including with the e-Cherga system, detailing pretty much the same cases of abuse and corruption that the Polish sources are talking about. First part where he talks about it starts around 10:00. He explicitly mentions 25% trucks skipping the queue for bribes but his only comment to that is a promise that some future IT system will certainly stop it.
Around 26:00 he starts from the case that I think Kulpa spoke about yesterday — a driver reverted from the queue by the border force and redirected to the end, waiting in total for 35 days. His recipe: talk to us, we'll find out with the Ministry of Transport. He kind of seems to forget that the time of "talk to us" was in May, when the drivers first talked about it, and now the train is gone.
Even more surprisingly, right after that he goes on to detail cases of corruption (e.g. skipping the queue by Ukrainian drivers for a bribe) he knows about. His recipe: his organization suggested to the Ministry more transparency in the e-Cherga system, CCTV on the border. He says the Ministry promised to "do something before end of the year".
In summary, he's talking nearly of the same issues as Poles, but his tone is rather dismissive and he's bubblewrapping each concrete case, like jumping queues, in vague statements like "this could be fixed with X". The problem is that "could be" is very distant from "is fixed" and I'm not surprised protesters aren't reassured.
