2,535 Ukrainians enter Belarus in past three days

2,535 citizens of Ukraine entered Belarus in the past three days, including 592 people transiting through the EU states, BelTA learned from the State Border Committee.

“From 6.00 on 1 April to 6.00 on 4 April 1,943 citizens of Ukraine arrived in Belarus through the Belarusian-Ukrainian border. Another 549 people came to Belarus transiting through Poland. 42 Ukrainians passed in transit through Lithuania, and 1 through Latvia,” the State Border Committee said.

Belarus continues to provide necessary assistance to people arriving from the Ukrainian territory. Thus, since 3 April foreign nationals arriving in Belarus due to the social and political situation in Ukraine, including those transiting through other countries, do not need a PCR test (certificate) to enter the country. In addition, foreign nationals traveling from Ukraine to the place of permanent residence are allowed visa-free entry into Belarus until 15 April inclusively.

Belarusian checkpoints are operating in a routine mode.
