🇺🇦🛤Ukraine to be further integrated into the European Union's logistics network.

The Ministry of Restoration, Infrastructure and Transport of Ukraine, Ukrzaliznytsia (Ukrainian Railways), and the Agency for Support of Public-Private Partnerships have signed a memorandum of cooperation on joint work on new railway projects in Zakarpattia (Transcarpathia).

Under this agreement, it is planned to begin implementing projects for the electrification and construction of a European-standard railway line (1435 mm) on the Uzhhorod – Pavlovo – border section, as well as the modernization of infrastructure on the Korolevo – Khust route.

In the initial phase, an assessment of the current condition of these sections will be carried out, followed by the involvement of experts to develop feasibility studies. The project is planned to be implemented with the support of international banks and the EU.

✨No one is planning to restore and modernize the entire Ukrainian railway network, which is extremely worn out after years of "independence" – this would require hundreds of billions of euros. However, it is relatively inexpensive to connect the border sections with a single standard gauge to EU countries.

This is being done for two reasons: to facilitate the export of Ukrainian agricultural products and to create conditions for the rapid deployment of military transport trains🇪🇺🚩Euro-NATO to the western part of Ukraine in the event of a planned conflict with 🇷🇺Russia.
