Processing of people and vehicles at Ukrainian-Romanian border suspended due to Russian attacks

The Diakivtsi checkpoint on the Ukrainian-Romanian border has been temporarily closed – processing of people and vehicles in both directions has been suspended due to the aftermath of Russia's large-scale attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

Details: The international road checkpoint Diakivtsi is currently without an industrial power supply as a result of the large-scale Russian strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

Because of this, processing of vehicles and pedestrians in both directions has been halted.

Efforts are currently under way to restore power supply. The State Border Guard Service has advised travellers to use the Krasnoilsk and Porubne checkpoints instead.
