Ukraine tries to reopen Zolote checkpoint in Luhansk region
Officers of the State Border Service of Ukraine started to clear passengers and vehicles crossing the contact line in Luhansk region through the Zolote checkpoint in the Popasna district on Wednesday morning.
"Ukrainian border guards began admission through the Zolote checkpoint at 8 a.m. today. Roughly ten vehicles and around 20 passengers have already been cleared," assistant head of the State Border Service Oleh Slobodian told Interfax-Ukraine.
The Ukrainian side cannot say for now that passengers and vehicles are being allowed crossing into the other side, he said, adding "no one has come to our side."
"So, we cannot say at this moment that admission has fully resumed," Slobodian said.
He told Interfax-Ukraine later that the LPR denied admission to passengers and vehicles.
"The traffic did not resume," Slobodian said.
