We entered Ukraine today.
We encountered a 1 hour and 15 minute delay at the Poland side whilst they checked the vehicle registration. Nice, friendly border police - just took a long time to do the checks. Once the vehicle docs were cleared, we were sent over to the Ukraine side without any vehicle search. Most vehicles passing through were only delayed by a few minutes - they must have liked (or disliked) the look of my Defender!
The Ukraine side took a further 30 minutes. First, a cursory search of parts of the vehicle with questions about whether we had 'pistols' or 'marijuana'. Then we had to clear Immigration which only took a few minutes. Then we had to clear Customs, which meant more waiting.
No forms to fill out. No declarations to be made regarding what we had with us.
When we pass the other side into Russia, I'll post further info.
