Deputy Prime Minister for Reconstruction – Minister for Communities and Territories Development Oleksiy Kuleba along with the Director of Transport at the European Commission Magda Kopczynska discussed a number of important issues regarding Ukrainian transport.
In particular, the Agreement on Road Transport was discussed, which remains important for maintaining trade in the context of the conflict.
Next, the issues of European integration and the integration of Ukrainian transport routes into the European TEN-T network were considered.
'The opening of the Euro gauge between Chop and Uzhhorod is an example of how cooperation works within the CEF program. Among the upcoming projects are a new route from the border with Poland to Lviv, and nine more directions that have already been selected for implementation. All of them are to serve as an example of how effectively cooperation between Ukraine and the European Union is realized.'
'The additional expansion of the TEN-T network will open new opportunities for Ukraine in international logistics and strengthen ties with the European economy,' emphasized Kuleba.
There was also discussion on holding the Ukrainian-European Union High-Level Transport Dialogue this fall in Ukraine, as well as working on adapting transport legislation to European standards.
Ukraine is actively working on reforms in the transport sector, with the aim of implementing key measures by the end of 2027, with significant assistance and cooperation from European partners.
