Details
Information for citizens who are planning to cross the Ukrainian-Polish border in the near future: possible delays in traffic movement for exiting Ukraine at the Shehyni-Medyka and Krakovets-Korczowa checkpoints
The State Customs Service clarified that the complications in exiting are related to the Polish side testing a system for checking biometric data and the departure of Hasidic pilgrims from Ukraine.
For comfortable border crossing, we suggest choosing other nearby checkpoints: "Rava-Ruska - Hrebenne", "Hrushiv - Budomierz", "Uhryniv - Dołhobyczów", "Nizhankovychi - Malhowice"
Addition
After the Rosh Hashanah celebration, thousands of Hasidic pilgrims leave Ukraine. This led to a significant increase in passenger traffic at the borders with Moldova and Poland and the formation of queues at a number of checkpoints.
