Changes in management and restoration of connections
According to government decree No. 282 dated April 1, 2025, the Cabinet of Ministers has increased the number of members of the 'Ukrzaliznytsia' board to five. This decision is an important step in the company's development and the improvement of railway connections in Ukraine. In addition, railway communication between southern Ukraine and Moldova has recently been restored. A train on the route Odesa - Chișinău has been launched for the first time since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, indicating the gradual restoration of transport links in the region.
The appointment of a new board of 'Ukrzaliznytsia' and the restoration of international railway connections are significant events for Ukraine, as they may contribute to the recovery of the economy and the improvement of transport infrastructure. The expansion of the board may also indicate the government's intention to intensify reforms in the railway transport sector, which has the potential to improve service and increase passenger traffic.
