Ukraine plans to open five new checkpoints on border with Poland in Lviv region

The EU is ready to invest EUR 100 million in this project over the period of 2023-2026, according to a statement on the website of Lviv Regional State Administration.

During 2023-2026, the EU is ready to invest EUR 100 million in the construction of five new checkpoints in Lviv region. In particular, Variazh-Uśmierz, Belz-Budynin checkpoints in Chervonohrad district, as well as Mshanets-Bandrów, Lopushanka-Michniowiec, and Boberka-Smolnik checkpoints in the newly created Sambir district will be opened.

"These additional checkpoints will link Ukraine with Europe. We are a European state with a European mentality. We need to finally establish a connection," Head of Lviv Regional State Administration Maksym Kozytsky said.

The region is currently preparing documentation to start repairing roads at the entrances to future checkpoints. In total, Ukravtodor will repair 170 km of roads within the framework of the Great Construction program.
