How the entry-exit checkpoints work in the area of the Joint Forces Operation
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 Stanytsia Luhanska checkpoint is open daily from the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine. During this week, passenger traffic decreased by 10% compared to last week. As of last Saturday, 5,657 people passed through this road corridor into the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine, and 5,501 people entered the controlled territory.
Opposite the Novotroitske checkpoint, militants unblocked the movement on Monday and Friday. The demarcation line at this checkpoint was crossed by 403 people and 69 vehicles to the temporarily occupied part of Donetsk region. At the same time, 254 people and 64 vehicles drove through the territory controlled by the Ukrainian authorities.
17 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” in a week. 136.2 tons of food and hygiene kits, furniture, household and medical goods 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.
