The National Police of Ukraine provide the fee-based escorting service on the territory of Ukraine only on the voluntary basis, Director of the communications department of the National Police of Ukraine Yaroslav Trakalo has said.

"We provide services only on the voluntary basis," Trakalo said in an interview with Ukrainska Pravda publication on Tuesday.

He said that anyone can submit an application at 17 border checkpoints.
