As part of his visit to the Odessa region, the Vice Prime Minister for the Recovery of Ukraine and the Minister for Communities and Territorial Development of Ukraine visited the "Reni - Giurgiulești" border crossing point with Moldova. This is one of the key logistical hubs connecting Ukraine with Moldova and Romanian ports.
"During the full-scale war, border crossing points have become not only infrastructure objects but also a strategic part of our logistics. They provide a reliable route for the transportation of goods, humanitarian aid, and strengthening ties with our partners," said Oleksii Kuleba.
Thanks to the implementation of joint Ukrainian-Moldovan control, border crossing time has become 30% faster for passenger cars and buses.
"Convenience for people and efficiency for business are our priorities. Strengthening the border is an investment in our economy, national security, and Ukraine's European integration," Kuleba noted.
During the meeting, the parties discussed work already carried out at the border crossing points, including:
- Restoration of the administrative building, sewage treatment facilities, and water supply systems.
- Improvement of the territory and modernization of external lighting.
- Creation of a "green corridor" to reduce the number of stops for trucks heading to Romanian ports.
They also outlined strategic tasks for the development of the border crossing points in the near future, including:
- Creation of a service area for trucks.
- Increasing the number of lanes and expanding infrastructure with the support of the EU and the International Organization for Migration.
