Queues have a significant impact on fuel imports.
Time spent in queues at the border with Poland has doubled over the past few months. This is related to the blockage of Ukrainian seaports and Russian attacks on infrastructure.
Reported by Economichna Pravda, citing a statement by Serhiy Derkach, Deputy Minister for Recovery of Infrastructure and Transport.
He noted that previously the total waiting time for exporters at the border was about 2–3 days, now it is 7–9 days for exit and entry to Poland. At other borders the situation is somewhat better, but overall it has deteriorated.
These queues have a significant impact on fuel imports.
Derkach added that the state is trying to expand crossing points and develop alternative infrastructure, including expanding the Euro-rail line from the border to the regions of the country.
Ukraine will receive 60 million euros from the EIB for the modernization of crossing points. The funds will be directed to upgrade checkpoints, improve access roads, terminals, waiting areas, and shelters.
