Ukraine to provide shelters at all border crossing points by the end of 2026

Ukraine plans to equip all border crossing points with shelters by the end of 2026 to protect against Russian attacks, with the European Union supporting approximately one-third of the procurement. This initiative aims to ensure the rapid resumption of border control operations following strikes, as demonstrated by a recent incident in Odesa Oblast where a crossing was restored within 24 hours using modular structures.
