Over the past five days, it has been clearly seen that passenger traffic has been on the rise. While last week, including Friday, it hovered around 80-85 thousand people per day in both directions, and there was no significant advantage either in leaving Ukraine or entering Ukraine, starting on Saturday, passenger traffic increased sharply. On Saturday, it was at the level of 110 thousand people who crossed our border, on Sunday - 105 thousand.

"Our compatriots account for 80-85% of the total passenger traffic crossing the border. I can note that 75 thousand times more citizens of Ukraine crossed the border to enter Ukraine," added Demchenko.
He pointed out that this increase in passenger traffic to enter Ukraine was due to the Easter holidays.
