Potential Border Delays on January 21 Due to Power System Issues.
Border Crossing Update for January 21: Power Grid Problems May Cause Delays
According to Novyny.live: As of 12:00 PM on January 21, no major queues have been reported at Ukraine's borders, but delays remain possible due to ongoing disruptions in the power grid. This update was provided by the Western Regional Directorate of Ukraine's State Border Guard Service. Ukraine's energy infrastructure has been a frequent target during the ongoing conflict, which can impact border operations.
Current Border Conditions
Minor delays are being observed at the Polish border. Specifically, at the 'Yahodyn' crossing, 4 buses are waiting, while 'Ustyluh' has a queue of 10 passenger cars. Other crossing points, such as:
- 'Uhryniv'
- 'Rava-Ruska'
- 'Hrushiv'
- 'Krakivets'
- 'Smilnytsia'
report no queues. 'Shehyni' has 15 passenger cars waiting, and 'Nyzhankovychi' has 0.
The situation at the Slovak border is as follows: 'Malyi Bereznyi' has no queue, 'Uzhhorod' has 5 passenger cars, and 'Mali Selmentsi' also has no delays. Regarding the Hungarian border, the 'Tysa' crossing has 5 passenger cars, while:
- 'Dzvinkove'
- 'Kosyno'
- 'Luzhanka'
- 'Vylok'
- 'Velyka Palad''
have no queues at all.
The borders with Romania and Moldova are calm, with no queues recorded at any crossing points, including:
- 'Diakove'
- 'Solotvyno'
- 'Porubne'
- 'Krasnoilsk'
- 'Diakivtsi'
- 'Mamalyha'
- 'Kelmentsi'
- 'Rososhany'
- 'Sokyriany'
In summary, while no significant queues are currently present at Ukraine's borders, travelers should be prepared for potential delays stemming from technical failures in the electrical systems.
This border situation is likely a consequence of widespread power supply issues in Ukraine, which are caused by military actions and other related factors.
Citizens are advised to check the latest information on crossing point status before departure and to be ready for delays linked to technical problems. Queue conditions can change rapidly, so staying informed is crucial.
