Advanced Scanning Systems to Be Implemented at Ukrainian Borders

By the end of 2025, Ukraine will introduce state-of-the-art scanning systems for railway wagons at its borders. These systems will enable customs officials to conduct non-intrusive inspections, meaning they can check cargo without opening wagons or containers. This was reported by the OVA press service. How it works: the fully automated system operates 24/7; scanners can detect even small items hidden within the walls or floors of wagons; passenger cars and locomotives are automatically excluded from inspections. The scanners are capable of identifying smuggling, drugs, tobacco products, and other prohibited substances before they enter circulation. Modern technology not only enhances the effectiveness of customs control but also reduces corruption risks and speeds up border operations. In the context of martial law and logistical restructuring, this is crucial for the economic resilience of the country. The first scanners will be set up at the crossing points of “Mostyska-2” and “Yahodyn” on the border with Poland, with plans for installation at other locations later.
