The discovery, which may be of cultural or historical value, was seized in accordance with established procedures. Customs officials drew up the corresponding report.

As a reminder, the first border crossing with Romania may open in Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast.

Ukraine has opened a new road border crossing on the border with Romania. The “Bila Tserkva–Sighetu Marmatiei” border crossing in Zakarpattia Oblast will operate around the clock and will use temporary infrastructure for the time being. Passenger vehicles weighing up to 3.5 metric tons will be able to pass through it.
