The European Union is investing in the development of Ukraine’s railway infrastructure under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) financial instrument for the development of border crossings with Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Hungary. This was announced on June 23 by the press service of Ukrzaliznytsia.
“Ukraine is actively working on the integration of its railway infrastructure with the European Union… For the first time in the history of the EU, it will not be able to withdraw the allocation of funds for the implementation of railway projects in Ukraine. Will We have the most promising crossings in the EU countries whose infrastructure needs to be modernized,” said the Chairman of the Board of the company Evgeny Lyashchenko.
The funds, in particular, will be directed to the construction of checkpoints with Poland Yagodin – Dorogusk and Mostiska II – Medica.
Construction of the Chop-Cherna nad Tisza/Zakhon checkpoint, which connects Ukraine with Slovakia and Hungary, will also be carried out. It plans to build an intermodal terminal and nearby infrastructure at Chop station.
