Passenger traffic in “Stanytsya Luhanska” increased by 15% — a week of work of checkpoints in the area of the joint operation
By order of the commander of the Joint Forces on the demarcation line, all checkpoints are open for passage, daily from 8:00 to 16:00. However, due to the blocking of the movement by the occupiers, the actual passage was carried out in only two of them.
Illegal armed formations controlled by the Russian Federation leave the road corridors completely blocked through the entry and exit checkpoints “Shchastya”, “Zolote”, “Gnutove”, “Mayorske” and “Marinka”.
The occupiers open traffic along the road corridor to the checkpoint “Novotroitske” only twice a week. During the week, 593 citizens and 73 vehicles were followed through the checkpoint in the direction of the temporarily occupied part of Donetsk region and 569 citizens and 81 vehicles in the direction of the controlled territory.
Daily transit operations were carried out only at the checkpoint “Stanytsya Luhanska”. For the current week, passenger traffic at the checkpoint increased by 15%. In total, in this checkpoint, the soldiers of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine issued 12,135 persons to enter the temporarily occupied territory, and 11,425 persons to enter the controlled territory.
In addition, pro-Russian militants did not allow 5 citizens into the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine. Border guards ensured their return to controlled territory.
Also, the border guards found four citizens who were heading to the controlled territory on partially forged documents. Notices are sent to the National Police on the detection of signs of criminal offenses.
5 trucks with humanitarian aid from the International Committee of the Red Cross passed through the checkpoint “Novotroitske”. Construction materials and medical supplies have been prepared for the needs of residents of the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine. The total weight of humanitarian aid was more than 75 tons.
We remind you that during the action in Ukraine of the “green” level of epidemic danger, citizens arrive in the controlled territory without undergoing self-isolation. And foreigners need to have a health insurance policy to cross the demarcation line.
At the same time, a mandatory condition is to stay in the checkpoint in a protective mask (respirator) with observance of social distance.
