Massive Queues at Poland’s Border: Which Checkpoint Had the Most Cars on June 12.

Ukraine’s Border Situation

According to Novyny.live: As of noon on June 12, long exit queues were forming at several Ukrainian border crossings. The highest congestion was recorded on the Polish route, where the number of passenger cars far exceeded that of other directions.

At the 'Yahodyn' checkpoint, no buses were reported, and pedestrian crossings were not operating. The 'Ustyluh' checkpoint had 100 cars and 1 bus waiting in line. 'Uhryniv' reported 70 cars, while 'Rava-Ruska' had 20 cars. 'Hrushiv' saw 35 cars, and both 'Krakivets' and 'Shehyni' each had 40 cars waiting to exit.

Other Checkpoints

Elsewhere, traffic was significantly lighter. At 'Smilnytsia', 'Nyzhankovychi', 'Malyi Bereznyi', 'Uzhhorod', and 'Krasnoilsk', no cars, buses, or pedestrians were recorded. The 'Mali Selmentsi' checkpoint operates from 9 AM to 9 PM, but no queues have been reported yet. At 'Tysa', there were 25 cars and 2 buses, indicating moderate traffic.

'Kosyno' had 30 cars in line, and 'Luzhanka' had 12 cars. At 'Vylok', 'Diakove', 'Solotvyno', 'Diakivtsi', and 'Mamalyha', no queues were present. The 'Porubne' checkpoint reported just 7 cars, showing low pressure on that route.

In summary, the Polish border saw significant vehicle buildup, while other crossings experienced either small queues or none at all, reflecting a calmer situation.

The situation at Ukraine’s border points to increased outbound travel, especially toward Poland, possibly driven by seasonal factors like vacations and the summer tourist season.

Meanwhile, the quieter conditions at other crossings may indicate shifts in travel routes or lower popularity of certain checkpoints. Ongoing queue monitoring remains important, as these delays could affect travelers’ plans.
