Current border situation: Ukrainian-Polish border queues as of April 26

Since the full-scale invasion, the Polish border has become the main artery connecting Ukraine to Europe. The majority of goods pass through the Polish border, and the closest airports to Ukraine are located in Poland. Therefore, queues at the Ukrainian-Polish border can significantly impact travel plans.

At the pedestrian crossing at Shehyni - Medyka, there are no delays for pedestrians, and at Krakovets, there are 20 vehicles in line. Let's talk about the situation at the border with Poland today.
