Restrictions and enhanced security measures introduced in Uman due to arrival of Hasidim
In Uman, from September 15, in connection with the arrival of Hasidim for the traditional annual pilgrimage, enhanced security measures are being introduced. The Uman City Council has reported this on Facebook.
"Security in Uman: the police are strengthening measures. From Monday, September 15, enhanced security measures related to the traditional annual pilgrimage are being introduced in Uman," the message says.
In particular, a special entry and exit regime is being introduced in the city again. The entry of vehicles will be prohibited in certain areas:
- from the M-30 highway to Derevianka and Horikhova streets;
- from the village of Rodnykivka - to Pavlova street.
Travel will be allowed with increased control in the following directions:
- from the M-30 and M-05 highways - on Derevianka, Internatsionalna, Mykhailivska, Vokzalna, Vyzvolyteliv streets;
- from the villages of Horodetske and Rodnykivka - on Horodetska, Maksyma Zalizniaka and Kyivska streets.
Important: entry to Vyzvolyteliv street is allowed only to Hasidic pilgrims.
It is also reported that local governments have introduced a number of restrictions: the sale of alcohol and pyrotechnics is prohibited, traffic control has been introduced at the entrances to the city, and traffic on certain sections of roads is being regulated.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, Israel and Ukraine have agreed on security measures for the visit of tens of thousands of pilgrims arriving in Uman to celebrate Rosh Hashanah.
As a reminder, on August 31, The Times of Israel reported that Ukraine was planning to ban this year's pilgrimage to Uman due to the deteriorating security situation.
