Rostov-on-Don - The Novoshakhtinsk motor checkpoint of the Rostov customs, the Kuibyshevo motor checkpoint of the Taganrog customs and the Voloshino checkpoint of the Millerovo customs are not clearing passengers or motor vehicles, Rayan Farukshin from the Rostov region customs department said.

“These checkpoints are not working because of the shutdown of the adjacent posts in Ukraine,” Farukshin told Interfax on Monday, Aug. 11.

The Veselo-Voznesenka motor checkpoint suspended operation from 4 a.m. to 6 a.m. for the same reason, he said.

Russian customs officers are on standby and are prepared to resume
clearance of passengers and motor vehicles on the border, the source
