Queues on the border of Ukraine and Poland: where there are more cars

At some checkpoints on the border between Ukraine and Poland, there was a large number of cars entering the country through the Lviv region. The reason is an increase in passenger traffic due to the Christmas holidays.

This was reported by the State Border Guard Service. They noted that the queues formed at the following checkpoints:

• "Korchova";
• "Medyka."

"At the entrance to Ukraine from Poland, queues were recorded in front of the "Korchova" and "Medyka" checkpoints. We recommend choosing less busy checkpoints nearby to reduce waiting time. The pre-Christmas period has led to a 25% increase in passenger traffic at the checkpoints in Lviv region, which complicates traffic," the statement said.

At the same time, in the morning of December 23, a rather large accumulation of vehicles – 15-45 cars and buses – was recorded at several checkpoints, mainly on the border with Poland. At many checkpoints, only vehicles are allowed to cross – pedestrians are not allowed to cross. Most of these checkpoints are on the border with Poland.

This was reported by the Western Regional Directorate of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine. They noted that as of 9:00 a.m., congestion was recorded at the checkpoints:

• "Ustyluh" (border with Poland) – 45 cars;
• "Uhryniv" (border with Poland) – 20 cars, 5 buses;
• "Rava-Ruska" (border with Poland) – 2 buses;
• "Hrushiv" (border with Poland) – 9 buses;
• "Krakivets" (border with Poland) – 14 buses;
• "Shehyni" (border with Poland) – 14 buses;
• "Malyi Bereznyi" (border with Slovakia) – 15 cars;
• "Uzhhorod" (border with Slovakia) – 4 buses;
• "Tysa" (border with Hungary) – 25 cars;
• "Dzvinkove" (border with Hungary) – 20 cars;
• "Kosino" (border with Hungary) – 40 cars;
• "Vylok" (border with Hungary) – 15 cars.

Pedestrians are not allowed to cross the border

At the same time, many checkpoints do not allow pedestrians to cross the border. For example, on the border with Poland, these are the checkpoints:

• "Yahodyn" (also temporarily not allowing passenger cars);
• "Ustyluh";
• "Uhryniv";
• "Rava-Ruska";
• "Hrushiv";
• "Krakivets";
• "Smilnytsia."

On the border with Slovakia – "Uzhhorod."

On the border with Hungary – "Tysa."

On the border with Romania – "Diakove."

In general, pedestrians may not be allowed to cross the border for various reasons. In particular:

• For security reasons;
• due to repairs, etc.
