It is noted that the last tranche of EIB financing, agreed in 2016, amounting to €150 million, is aimed at modernizing Ukrainian railways. The first tranche of €100 million was transferred to Ukrzaliznytsia in 2022 as part of the «EIB emergency response to support Ukraine». At that time, these funds were directed to emergency repairs and restoration of essential railway services.
€50 million will be allocated to joint projects with the EU, including the development of border infrastructure and the modernization of railway crossing points. This will strengthen Ukraine’s integration with the European transport network and increase throughput in the western direction and reduce border crossing times.
