User Reviews

Krosstsenko checkpoint receives mixed but generally positive feedback from travelers. Most reviews (4 out of 5) rate the experience highly, with users praising quick processing times, particularly when entering Ukraine. Wait times vary significantly depending on traffic direction and time of day. One traveler reported only 30 minutes to enter Ukraine, while another experienced a 15-minute queue with 10-12 vehicles during peak hours. The checkpoint appears to operate smoothly when all systems function properly, with users noting minimal queues of just 3-5 vehicles at certain times. However, one recent review from December 2025 suggests occasional issues, possibly related to heavy traffic. A key observation from multiple reviews is that entry direction to Ukraine tends to be faster than exit procedures. Users recommend arriving prepared to proceed immediately through the barrier when the light is green, and should expect brief waits even during peak times, typically under 30 minutes. Technical delays have been noted (such as database issues causing temporary slowdowns), but these appear to be exceptions rather than the norm.
