On weekdays, about 120 thousand people cross the border with Poland in both directions, and on weekends, the number of border crossings can reach 140-150 thousand people per day in both directions. Since the beginning of the summer season, the majority of border crossings have been for people leaving Ukraine, but in July, passenger traffic may be dominated by people entering Ukraine.

The Polish border still accounts for the largest passenger traffic. If we talk about passengers, it is about 50%, but we have not recorded any significant queues recently. Although the passenger traffic remains quite high. On weekdays, it is about 120 thousand people in both directions, if we talk about the entire section of the state border where border crossing operations are carried out, and on weekends, the number of border crossings can reach 140-150 thousand people per day in both directions. In July, passenger traffic may be dominated by people entering Ukraine, as since the beginning of the summer season, the preference has been for people leaving for Ukraine. Over the past day, passenger traffic fluctuated 50-50 - 60 thousand for departure, 60 thousand for entry
