Radio Liberty reports with reference to the Mostyska border detachment's press secretary that it is impossible to cross the border on foot at Krakovets-Korczowa and Rava-Ruska-Hrebenne starting from May 16. Citizens of Ukraine on the Polish side were collected by special buses, which will be canceled.
