KAUFEN

Since April 2025, one of the busiest checkpoints on the Ukrainian-Polish border, Shehyni, has partially restricted its operation to road transport. According to the State Border Guard Service, this decision was made due to large-scale reconstruction and repair work being carried out at the checkpoint.

This article explains what exactly will change for travelers, who will be affected by the restrictions, and how to avoid getting stuck in kilometer-long queues.

For whom is the traffic at Shehyni checkpoint restricted?

According to the State Border Guard Service, traffic is temporarily restricted at the Shehyni checkpoint, which is located in the Lviv region on the border with Poland. In particular:

● cars and trucks are not allowed to leave Ukraine;

● restrictions on entry to Ukraine are in place for freight transport.

The reason for this is repair and reconstruction work, which is expected to last until the first half of May 2025. During this period, the infrastructure of the checkpoints is being updated, capacity and technical support are being improved.

● Rava-Ruska - Hrebenne - car, bus, pedestrian;

● Yahodyn - Dorohusk - car, freight, passenger;

If you plan to cross the border by car, it is important not only to choose a different checkpoint but also to take care of insurance. To travel to Poland and other EU countries, you must have an international car insurance policy - a Green Card.

It is easy to apply for it online on the Visit Ukraine portal. It's simple:

1. Select the country of travel

2. Specify the validity period of the policy

3. Enter the car details

All - without queues, overpayments and with official confirmation. Take out a policy in advance to protect yourself from fines and unforeseen situations abroad!
