Due to border and custom controls passengers of international trains to Ukraine usually wait 2 hours or longer before they get access to the train. It is uncomfortable during heat and rain. Access to the platform via tunnel. There are no lifts or escalators to the platform so it’s difficult for people with heavy luggage or pram to move between platforms.
