Advanced Border Scanning Systems in Ukraine

09 April 2025

By the end of 2025, Ukraine will implement cutting-edge scanning systems for railway wagons at its borders. These technologies will allow customs officers 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 details hidden within the walls or floor 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 technology not only enhances the efficiency of customs checks but also reduces corruption risks and speeds up border operations. In the context of war and logistics restructuring, this is crucial for the economic resilience of the state. The first scanners will be installed at the border crossing points of 'Mostyska-2' and 'Yahodyn' (on the border with Poland), with plans to extend to other areas later.
