According to the Western Regional Directorate of the State Border Guard Service, 640 cars are waiting at the border with Poland, 92 with Slovakia, 156 with Hungary, and 80 with Romania.
Demchenko said the queues were not due to increased mobilization, as not all drivers are conscripts. Those leaving are mostly women with children, elderly people and foreigners.
"Before Easter there was a trend of people entering Ukraine for two weeks, and after Easter the trend shifted to leaving, which is why there are queues," the Border Guard spokesman explained.
