Details
It is noted that border control at Ukrainian checkpoints was carried out as usual. At the same time, vehicle processing from the Moldovan side was complicated due to a technical failure. In addition, in some areas, the processing of trucks was temporarily suspended due to ice.
As of now, the State Customs Service has reported the full resumption of vehicle and goods passage after the restoration of the central databases of the Moldovan customs authorities.
An UNN correspondent visited the Palanca-Mayaky checkpoint to find out the situation on the ground.
A representative of the Border Police of the Republic of Moldova commented to UNN on the details.
The border was not working in the morning – the system was frozen until approximately 3:00 PM. There were no large queues today – on average about 15 cars. Now there is almost no traffic due to ice
According to him, on normal days, the traffic flow in this direction is much more intense, but bad weather and power outages significantly affected the situation.
Usually there are many more cars, but due to the weather and power problems, there are very few people today. In the morning, the roads were even more slippery, now they have at least been partially sprinkled
Separately, the border guard drew attention to the situation on the Ukrainian side of the border.
No large influx of traffic was recorded from the Ukrainian side either. The maximum queue was about five or six cars
