Donetsk, Oct 1 - DAN. The Yelenovka crossing point on the contact line south of Donetsk will reopen on October 2, the Donetsk People’s Republic COVID-19 crisis headquarters reported on Thursday.
“The Yelenovka crossing point will operate for entry and exit on Friday, October 2, from 9:00 to 18:00,” the report said.
To enter the Republic, visitors have to obtain a permit from the COVID-19 crisis headquarters; residence registration in Ukraine is required to exit the DPR.
