Slovakia and Moldova resumed the operation of checkpoints on the border with Ukraine on June 1, whereas Hungary has postponed their reopening, spokesperson for Ukraine's State Border Guard Service Andriy Demchenko told Ukrinform.

"Yes, the border agency of the Slovak Republic has resumed the work of two checkpoints with Ukraine. Moldova has resumed the work of three checkpoints. Thus, three checkpoints are currently operating with Slovakia and ten with Moldova," Demchenko said.
