State Border Guard Service of Ukraine informs about the situation at the western border

On 20 March, over 66 thousand people and 14 thousand vehicles crossed the state border of Ukraine with the EU and the Republic of Moldova. Over the past few days, passenger traffic has remained stable.

Yesterday, over 47 thousand people left Ukraine. Over 30 thousand of them crossed the Ukrainian-Polish border. Currently, there are no queues of pedestrians and vehicles in all directions. We also recommend selecting border crossing points of Ukraine with Slovakia, Romania, and the Republic of Moldova for the border crossing to the EU.

Yesterday, over 20 thousand people arrived in Ukraine, almost 17 thousand of whom are Ukrainians. Most of them are men who came back to defend our Homeland. We are grateful to our compatriots! Overall, since the beginning of the overt armed aggression, over 351 thousand of our countrymen have returned to Ukraine.

We recommend that you monitor the density of the checkpoints traffic for the border crossing to the EU and the Republic of Moldova (in the Bukovyna region) by following the Facebook page of the Western Regional Directorate of the State Border Service - Western border. The information is updated every two hours. 

We remind you that all checkpoints on the western border (except “Dzvinkove”) are open around the clock. In addition to clearance of people and vehicles, border guards, together with customs officials, also handle humanitarian aid for the Ukrainian army and our compatriots. Border guards and customs officers are clearing people and vehicles leaving Ukraine as well as humanitarian aid for the Ukrainian population and the defenders of Ukraine as quickly as possible. Yesterday, 601 vehicles with humanitarian aid were processed at the Western borders.

We ask all citizens at the border to respect law and order, queuing procedures, and morality norms while crossing the border and not to offer bribes to border guards for exceptional or illegal border crossing!
