Lines have formed at the border with Poland; drivers are being asked to use other border crossings

At the Ukrainian-Polish border within Lviv Oblast, there is currently a buildup of vehicles heading out of Ukraine. Citizens are advised to take this situation into account when planning their trips and, if possible, to choose less congested border crossings.

For those leaving Ukraine:
  • “Ugryniv” — 30 vehicles;
  • “Rava-Ruska” – 10 cars;
  • “Krakivets” – 40 cars, 6 buses;
  • “Shehyni” – 80 cars, 3 buses;
  • “Nyzhankovychi” – 15 cars, 2 buses.
Currently, the “Hrushiv” and “Smilnytsia” border crossing points for exiting Ukraine are not congested.
 
A backlog of vehicles entering Ukraine has been reported at the “Shehyni” border crossing—10 cars and 3 buses. No backlogs of vehicles or buses entering Ukraine have been reported at the other border crossings.

This was reported by the 7th Carpathian Border Guard Detachment.
 

The State Border Guard Service of Ukraine has denied reports of an attack on the Yagodyn border crossing.

The Operational Command of the Polish Armed Forces continues to monitor the situation, and subordinate forces and assets remain on standby for an immediate response.

As a reminder, Poland will strengthen electronic security along its border with Ukraine.

The Polish Ministry of Finance has prepared legislative amendments that provide for the introduction of an electronic reservation system for freight transport at border crossings.

Poland has begun constructing new fortifications and reinforcing border crossing points along the border with Ukraine due to the growing threat from Russia.
