Before the winter holidays, people started crossing the Ukrainian border more often. Currently, on average, about 90-100 thousand people cross the checkpoints per day. This was stated by the spokesman for the State Border Guard Service, Andriy Demchenko, during a telethon, UNN reports.
Currently, on average, 90-100 thousand people cross the border per day, 85% of whom are Ukrainian citizens. But we do not yet see a clear preference for entry or exit. In fact, the dynamics of border crossing fluctuates 50-50. On one day, more people may leave, on another day, more people may enter
