Donetsk, Sep 17 – DAN. The Yelenovka crossing point on the contact line south of Donetsk will reopen on September 18, the Donetsk Republic COVID-19 crisis headquarters reported on Thursday.

“The Yelenovka crossing point will operate for entry and exit on Friday, September 18, 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.
