During the day on March 8, more than 120,000 people and almost 15,000 vehicles crossed the state border of Ukraine in the western part. Passenger traffic decreased by about 10% compared to the previous day.

REMINDER: to cross the border into the EU, also choose checkpoints on the borders with Hungary, Slovakia, Romania and Moldova. Currently, checkpoints with these countries are almost empty or minimally congested.

Their workload is published every three hours on the Facebook page of the Western Regional Department of the State Border Guard Service - Western Border. Stay tuned.

106 thousand people left Ukraine last night. Most of those who left - more than 75,000 people - crossed the Ukrainian-Polish border. As a result, there are still accumulations of people and cars in this area.

Also, 14.5 thousand people came to Ukraine last night. Almost 12,000 of them are Ukrainians, most of them men planning to join the defense forces. We are proud of our compatriots who are going to defend their homeland!

WE REMIND that checkpoints on the western border are open 24 hours a day (except for Dzvinkove checkpoint on the border with Hungary, which is open from 8 am to midnight).

Border guards and customs officers continue providing a pass humanitarian aid to the Ukrainian population and our army. Over the past day on the western border were passed almost 800 vehicles with charitable goods. In total, more than 4,800 trucks have already been inspected.

WE ASK ALL CITIZENS at the border to adhere to law and order, order and norms of morality when crossing the border and not to offer bribes to border guards for extraordinary or illegal border crossing!
