#Border Control

Human rights advocates have recorded 73 cases in which conscripts in Russia encountered a travel ban, learning of it only at border control. Experts link this to possible preparations for a new mobilization.

The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs reported that since the start of the biometric identification experiment for foreigners at the border, entry into the country has been denied to nearly 70,000 people, while 14 million citizens have submitted their data.

Tightening of border controls in 2026 creates risks for business when planning foreign business trips for employees with IT deferment or reserve status. We analyze the reasons for cancellation and the documents required for travel.

SBCU confirmed: border guards do not check the 'Reserve+' app for women when leaving Ukraine. No restrictions on women's departure have been established by legislation, the service spokesperson stated.

RBC-Ukraine, citing the "ATESH" movement, reports unofficial instructions at Russian border crossings and airports: mobilization-age men are being delayed so they miss their flights. No official bans exist.

Lithuania is considering reducing transit time for Russian citizens from 24 to 6 hours. The President's advisor supported the Seimas deputy's idea, calling it a measure against violations of stay rules.

🚨 Russia has introduced hidden restrictions on men of conscription age leaving the country. Border guards detain citizens under the pretext of checks so they miss their flights. This is done to prevent personnel outflow amidst frontline losses. Officially, authorities deny mobilization, but in practice, unofficial filtering is in effect. #Russia #Mobilization #Putin #War

🇷🇺 The Russian FSB plans to cancel border zones on the border with occupied Ukrainian territories, attempting to legally cement the annexation. 🇺🇦 The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine called this an attempt to "pass off the desired as real," emphasizing that occupation does not create sovereignty. 📉 Russia continues disinformation: claiming the "capture" of the village of Shcherbakovka, which has not existed since 1997. 📍 The issue concerns the Rostov and Voronezh regions, bordering the occupied regions of Donbas and Southern Ukraine. #Ukraine #Russia #War #Diplomacy #FSB

🚨 Border Blockade: Following Russia's night attack using "Iskanders" and "Onixes," movement to the Moldovan border in Odesa Oblast is restricted. In Odesa, homes are destroyed, and power and water are cut off. Exit from Moldova is possible only via "Tudor-Starokozyach." 🇺🇦🚫

🇮🇹 Italy rejected Madrid's ultimatum and extended border controls until August 15. 🇪🇸 Spain threatens retaliatory measures. 🚨 The cause is the migration crisis in Ceuta and security threats. #Italy #Spain #Schengen #Migration

🚛 The internet is discussing queues of trucks leaving Ukraine: business speaks of 6-day delays, while border guards deny it. SBGS spokesperson Andriy Demchenko stated that physically there are fewer trucks at the border than in the electronic queue "eCherha". Real jams, according to him, are located on the territory of neighboring countries (Poland, Hungary), where there is no Ukrainian registration system. 📉 The Association of Freight Forwarders claims that almost 5,000 vehicles are in the queue. 📈 Passenger traffic in August 2026 has grown to 150,000 people per day due to the vacation season. #Logistics #Border #Ukraine #SBGS #Economy

The Latvia-Belarus border is fully closed due to a failure at the sole border crossing, "Pateriņi." The Latvian Interior Minister urged citizens to find detours, while Estonia has sent aid to reinforce security. 🚧🚫

Serious traffic jams have formed at the Polish border for entry into Ukraine, especially at "Krakovets" and "Shehyni" 🚗🚧. Border guards recommend choosing other crossing points or traveling early in the morning to avoid queues. You can find the current congestion map on the SBGS social media pages 📱🇺🇦.
