According to the Prime Minister, one of the key elements of the strategy to strengthen the Ukrainian economy is the development of logistics. Over the past 1.5 years, important changes have taken place, such as the signing of a "transport visa-free regime with the European Union, which eliminated the need to obtain permits for freight transportation.
At the same time, checkpoints on the border are being modernized and new ones are being opened.

This will help us achieve greater integration into the European space, speed up logistics, and minimize corruption."
