Efficient and well-established logistics are critical for Ukraine’s economic security and integration into the EU. Today, the transport sector faces a number of unprecedented challenges: losses from attacks by the Russian Federation, limited investment for restoration and modernization, and the reformatting of logistics routes.

It creates incentives for infrastructure renewal, improved management efficiency, the introduction of modern safety and environmental standards, and Ukraine’s integration into European logistics networks.
