There is a significant decrease in other directions, and, in particular, over the past few days, there have been zero indicators in the direction of the Shehyni checkpoint," said Andriy Demchenko.

"Drivers and carriers are looking for other destinations where they can cross the border, and we have seen an increase in queues in Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania recently," he said.
