The shift change on the Ukrainian side of the border takes place twice a day - at 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. These are regular changes that ensure the continuity of border control. It should be taken into account that during the shift change there are often delays in servicing all types of border crossings. We recommend planning your trip taking this factor into account.
