According to border guards, an increase in the number of people leaving is being recorded at all points, but the largest passenger flow is observed at checkpoints on the border with Poland.

At the same time, entry into Ukraine does not significantly outweigh exit. During the day, an average of 75 thousand people crossed the state border in both directions.

The State Border Guard Service added that the increase in passenger traffic leads to queues.

It was previously reported that border guards from the Chop detachment discovered men in the mountains who had been wandering there for four days. It turned out that they were trying to illegally enter Slovakia.
