According to the publication Strana.ua, thousands of people gathered in the two remaining open checkpoints on the Polish side. Ukrainians were waiting in the neutral zone when they were picked up by buses and taken home.
“On the border, hell and madhouse are happening – thousands of people with trunks, everyone is pushing, swearing. What is the distance, what are the masks. Nobody checks them, it would be faster to miss. Nobody keeps a distance, most people without masks, ”said an eyewitness.
According to him, customs officers also work without masks and gloves, so you can’t even imagine “how much coronavirus has penetrated Ukraine in such lines.”
Over the past day, about 10 thousand people (pedestrians and bus passengers) returned from Poland to Ukraine. Most of them are labor migrants.
“Frozen like dogs, stood all night. Everyone coughs, their faces are red, like tomatoes, swallow paracetamol to bring down the temperature. Coronavirus lineup. I would know if I had stayed in Poland, ”said the woman who returned from Poland.
A sharp increase in flow through the Polish-Ukrainian border was confirmed by the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.
