Last week, in what could be models for the Donbas, two ‘temporary’ checkpoints opened at Chonhar and Kalanchak – the two checkpoints between Kherson Oblast and Russia-controlled Crimea. The checkpoints have offices for passport control, vehicle inspection areas, and bathrooms. With Ukrzaliznytsia doing the construction, work now starts on a second phase – cafeteria, pharmacy, driver rest area, and bus station.
