Verbatim: "Currently checkpoints on the border with Poland are much less congested. However, this may change in the event of the conflict escalation."
"That is why I appealed to the Polish partners on the possibility of opening checkpoints in Varyazh and Nyzhankovychi, which are not operating yet, and arranging social infrastructure near them. "
Details: The partners also discussed the need to improve the railway connection between Ukraine and Poland.
Background: Recently, the flow of people across Ukraine's western border has decreased.
There were practically no lines leaving Ukraine at the checkpoints on the border with neighbouring countries in the morning on March 14. Only at the Shehyn checkpoint have 30 cars been waiting to leave.
