The new railway route Kyiv — Bratislava is planned to be launched in mid-December. Slovakia confirmed its readiness.

This was reported to the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine after the sixth meeting of the Ukrainian-Slovak joint commission.

The route of the new train will have a transfer at the Chop station and takes into account the started construction of the European track line in Ukraine between Uzhgorod and Chop, as well as a possible future direct line “Uzhhorod — Chop — Kosice — Bratislava”.

During the meeting, it was also discussed about the continuation of the modernization of the checkpoint "Uzhhorod — Vyshnye Nemetske" in order to increase the carrying capacity of cargo and passenger transport.

Ukraine is also interested in expanding the throughput capacity of the "Maly Berezny — Ublya" point. Among other things, there are plans to open the railway checkpoint "Pavlové — Matiovtse" for passenger transportation. Now it works only as a cargo.
