Ukraine is negotiating with neighboring states to establish joint border crossing points on their territory. This was reported by Serhiy Derkach, First Deputy Minister of Development of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure, at the Forum on Economic Resilience, which Forbes Ukraine held in Kyiv this week. His 25 September was quoted by Interfax-Ukraine.
The official explained that the reason for such an idea is shelling by the aggressor country, the Russian Federation, which leads to disruptions in logistics.
"We are now working with other countries, with our neighbors, in order to have the possibility—this is about an alternative—to relocate border crossing points to another territory of another country," Derkach said.
According to him, joint border crossing points would ensure uninterrupted logistics operations and speed up the movement of goods by allowing faster border and customs procedures.
As an example, Derkach cited Poland, where several joint border crossing points are already operating, as well as Moldova. He noted that Ukraine is currently examining the possibility of creating such points with each neighboring country.
Such a proposal emerged amid Russian strikes on Ukraine's border infrastructure. In Odesa region, border checkpoints on the Moldova border and one on the Romania border came under attack. Later, the occupiers attacked the area near the border with Poland in Volyn region with drones several times.
