To promote links between Kherson and Russia-occupied Crimea, Ukraine will build two modern checkpoints – with bathrooms and bus stations – at two control points on the administrative border – Kalanchak and Chonhar, Yuriy Lavreniuk, deputy infrastructure minister, announced at the Kherson development conference. In Kalanchak, the government will open a Center for the Provision of Administrative Services, he said, “where every Ukrainian citizen from Crimea, who for some reason or other does not have a biometric passport abroad, can legally cross the temporary administrative border and get this passport there on site, and then get into an official vehicle, go to Kherson airport and fly to any country in Europe, since they do not have that opportunity now.” Kalanchak is a 100 km drive from Kherson International Airport. Due to sanctions, there are no international flights from Crimea.
