Advanced Scanning Systems at Ukraine's Borders

By the end of 2025, advanced scanning systems for railway wagons will be installed at Ukrainian borders. These technologies will enable customs officials to conduct non-intrusive inspections, allowing them to check cargo without opening wagons or containers. This was reported by the OVA press service. Here's how it works: the fully automated system operates 24/7; scanners can detect even the smallest details hidden within the walls or floors of the wagons; passenger cars and locomotives are automatically excluded from inspection. The scanners are capable of identifying smuggling, drugs, tobacco products, and other prohibited substances before they enter circulation. Modern technologies will not only enhance customs efficiency but also reduce corruption risks and speed up border operations. In the context of martial law and logistical restructuring, this is extremely crucial for the country's economic stability. The first scanners will be installed at the checkpoints 'Mostyska-2' and 'Yahodyn' (on the border with Poland), with future installations planned for other areas.
