The Ukrainian and Moldovan sides have officially agreed to complete the work and start joint control on the Ukrainian side.

According to him, the launch of joint control on the Ukrainian side will increase the capacity of this section of the border. At present, no more than 50 trucks a day pass through Reni, but Ukraine wants to at least double that number.

The next step in the Green Corridor initiative should be the launch of coordinated control at the Romanian checkpoint together with our Moldovan colleagues, which will open a fast route and corridor to the Romanian port of Galati."
