The border service did not confirm the closure of the checkpoint "New Yurkovichi"

"The checkpoint is functioning normally," RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

The decision to close checkpoints is made at the federal level, the agency notes.

As previously reported by the head of the administration of the Klimovsky district of the Bryansk region Alexander Isaev, the multilateral automobile checkpoint "New Yurkovichi" that came under fire from the Ukrainian army is temporarily not working.
