Ukraine is buying 135 mobile shelters for border crossings as Russian drones reach from the Danube to Poland
Regional recovery services have opened 10 tenders, one of them for shelters on the road to a crossing into Romania.
Ukraine is set to purchase 135 mobile shelters for civilians at 28 of its border crossings, as reported by the State Agency for Restoration and Infrastructure Development on October 7th. Since September, Russian drones have targeted crossings on Ukraine's borders with Moldova and Romania, and even reached Poland near the Yahodyn crossing in Volyn Oblast.
In September, a Russian drone strike caused a gas station near the crossing to catch fire, and another caused damage to a checkpoint building on September 28th. First Deputy Minister for Restoration, Infrastructure and Transport Serhii Derkach mentioned that Ukraine is considering relocating some checkpoints to Moldovan territory, though no agreement has been reached yet.
Moldovan Interior Minister Daniella Misail-Nichitin announced that Moldova has established shelters adjacent to its border crossings with Ukraine and has begun transferring personnel from joint checkpoints. The 135 shelters will be positioned at the crossings and along the roads leading to them, with regional recovery services in Vinnytsia, Odesa, Chernivtsi, Zakarpattia, and Volyn oblasts managing the procurement process.
