"It is expected that 400 trucks, 600 cars and 80 buses will cross the new checkpoint during the day. So this checkpoint with Romania will become the largest after opening," says the Deputy Prime Minister for Reconstruction of Ukraine Oleksiy Kuleba.
- Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said that in general they want to create 9 new border checkpoints in the western direction and modernize another 13. This will increase opportunities for Ukrainian exports and speed up sectoral integration into the European Union, the government believes.
