The two expanded checkpoints at the Crimea line of control will serve as bus stations dispatching buses north to Ukrainian cities and airports


The two expanded checkpoints at the Crimea line of control will serve as bus stations dispatching buses north to Ukrainian cities and airports, says Infrastructure Minister Volodymyr Krikliy. From Kalanchak, on the west side of the isthmus, buses will go to Kherson city and Kherson International Airport. SkyUp airlines estimate that one-third of its Kherson passengers are Crimea residents. From Chonhar, on the east side, buses will go north to the train station at Melitopol and the airport at Zaporizhia. For legal reasons, there will be no bus service across the temporary line separating Crimea and Kherson. He said: “It’s about creating civilized conditions for passengers who can get on a bus of a legal Ukrainian carrier at the station near a checkpoint and continue to travel through Ukraine.”
