at this particular hour (8:49), there are almost no queues. Instead, over the past two weeks
the passenger traffic has been quite dynamic. If we talk about the time before December 25, before
Christmas, a total of 850 thousand people crossed the border in both directions during the week, but
the preference was for entering Ukraine, when 50 thousand more people went to
Ukraine than left its borders".

On December 25 and 26, passenger traffic slightly decreased and was at the level of 65-70 thousand per day.
Later on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, it began to grow again and was at the level of about 100 thousand people per day in both directions.
