schema:articleBody	Hundreds of Hasidic Jews, who have sought to travel to a pilgrimage site in Ukraine, are held up at the country's border with Belarus due to a coronavirus ban, Kiev said on Tuesday. Tens of thousands of Hasidic Jews travel every Jewish New Year to the town of Uman in central Ukraine to visit the tomb of Rabbi Nahman, the founder of the Breslov Hasidic movement. This year the Jewish New Year is celebrated on September 18-20. Last month, the Ukrainian and Israeli governments called on Hasidic Jews not to travel to Uman, a town of 80,000 people, this year, fearing a spike in coronavirus infections. Kiev later banned foreigners from entering the country until late September to prevent a new spike in infections. On Tuesday, President Volodymyr Zelensky discussed the situation at the border with the head of the state border guard service, Sergiy Deyneko, said his office, adding that Ukraine "fully" controlled the situation. As of Tuesday morning, 690 pilgrims were at the Ukrainian-Belarusian border and hundreds mere were expected to arrive. "We expect that three charter planes -- some 600 foreigners -- will arrive in Minsk," Deyneko said, referring to the capital of Belarus. He said up to 1,000 people are expected to arrive at the border in the northern Chernigiv region, up to 700 in Zhytomyr region and up to 1,500 people in Volyn region, both of which are in north-western Ukraine. Authorities have put up a roadblock 700 metres from a checkpoint in the Chernigiv region, Zelensky's office said in a statement. Aircraft and drones have also been deployed to monitor the border, it added. Separately, the border guard service said the pilgrims were "not giving up attempts to enter Ukraine even after having received explanations and fully aware of the entry limits for foreigners." Rabbi Nahman is one of the main figures of Hasidism, a mystical branch of Judaism that appeared in the 18th century and which developed in particular in Poland and Ukraine. Ukraine has reported more than 159,000 cases of coronavirus and over 3,200 fatalities. osh/as/wdb
