2022

At the end of December 2022, the Shlyakh information system crashed, due to which there were more queues on the state borders of Ukraine. This was reported in the Border Service of Ukraine. Due to temporary technical problems, registration of truck and bus drivers at the border will not be carried out, the department added then.

2021

The Shlyakh system (translated from the Ukrainian Path) was created in 2021. With the help of this development, drivers of draft age have the right to cross the border if they transport humanitarian aid or medical supplies. The system was created to pass volunteers and drivers across the Ukrainian border in order to eliminate corruption when issuing permits to cross the border by men of draft age. Both personal data and licensed carriers are entered into it. The departure of men aged 18 to 60 from Ukraine for the period of martial law (introduced in February 2022) is prohibited.
