UKRAINE TO OPEN 6 MORE BORDER POINTS FOR RAIL FREIGHT TO EUROPE

Ukrainian Railways plans to open six additional border crossings for rail freight to Europe. Three facilities will be added on the border with Poland, two on the border with Romania and one on the border with Moldova, with some of the border points potentially being operative within three months.

More specifically, the three additional checkpoints on the Polish border will be at Rawa-Ruska, Grebenne and Starzhava – Krostsenko. On the border with Romania, two additional junctions will be located on the Delovo-Valea Visheului section, and one on the border with Moldova, at Berezino – Basarabeasca.

Ukraine currently has thirteen border crossings for freight transportation to and from Europe, at the borders with Poland, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia and Moldova. This is not sufficient to accommodate the growing number of trains exporting cargo from Ukraine to Europe
