Occupiers block humanitarian corridors
The work of all checkpoints on the demarcation line starts daily from 08:00 and lasts until 16:00
However, traffic in most humanitarian road corridors is blocked from the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine.
Only the checkpoint “Stanytsya Luhanska” is open daily from the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine. During this week, passenger traffic increased threefold, compared to last week, most of which the occupiers significantly restricted traffic. As of last Saturday, 7,700 people passed through this road corridor into the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine, and 8,484 people entered the controlled territory.
Opposite the Novotroitske checkpoint, militants unblocked the movement on Monday and Friday. 288 people and 61 vehicles crossed the demarcation line at this checkpoint to the temporarily occupied part of Donetsk region. At the same time, 282 people and 61 vehicles drove through the territory controlled by the Ukrainian authorities.
During the week 22 trucks with humanitarian aid from the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees passed through the checkpoints “Novotroitske” and “Shchastia”. 226.1 tons of food kits, medical goods, building materials and furniture were delivered to residents of the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine.
The pandemic has not subsided, so we remind you that quarantine restrictions are in place at the checkpoints. Thus, citizens of Ukraine who are subject to self-isolation, when heading to the territory controlled by the Ukrainian authorities, are obliged to install and activate the application “At Home”. If it is not possible to install a mobile application, they are subject to observation. And foreigners, when crossing the demarcation line, in addition to this, must have an insurance policy.
At the same time, there is a wide list of categories of citizens to whom self-isolation does not apply. We advise citizens to familiarize themselves with the full list of categories of persons who are not subject to self-isolation in advance. Self-isolation will stop if a negative COVID-19 test result is obtained by PCR or express test, which is carried out after crossing the checkpoint.
