Control points and checkpoints in Ukraine, particularly in Donbas, have seen significant developments in 2021. These updates include strategic openings, temporary closures, and enhanced safety measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and political situation. High-ranking diplomats from the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg visited the JFO area, promising to communicate the on-ground realities to the wider European community.

In 2021, several control points like Stanytsia Luhanska and 'Shchastia' in the Luhansk region scheduled temporary closures or resumptions based on health and safety reasons. These vital passages facilitate the movement of citizens and goods, playing a crucial role in the socio-economic stability of the region. Moreover, authorities have launched initiatives such as free COVID-19 testing at these control points to curb the virus's spread and ensure safe passage.

The dynamic situation at the checkpoints also reflects the broader geopolitical and health challenges facing Ukraine. With ongoing constructions like the customs checkpoint Kalanchak near Crimea, Ukraine continues to strengthen its infrastructure amidst the ongoing conflict and health crises. These control points not only serve as physical gateways but are also pivotal in the geopolitical narrative of Ukraine's fight for sovereignty and public health.
