Lithuanian companies are modernizing Ukraine’s logistics infrastructure and will open a single logistics center this year.

Representatives from Lithuanian railway operators – the transport and cargo companies LTG Cargo and BGS Rail Holdings – are expanding their presence in Ukraine. The companies are involved in logistics infrastructure modernization projects at the state level, Ambassador of Lithuania to Ukraine Valdemaras Sarapinas said.

The ambassador noted that Lithuanian railway representatives are striving to “continue the European railway to Klaipeda and improve international logistics connections across the Polish-Ukrainian border.”

Sarapinas also said that Ukrainian supermarket chain Novus, which is part of the Lithuanian investment group BT Invest, plans to open a single logistics center in 2024 with a total area that will almost double that of the seven existing distribution centers. The new center will allow products to be stored in 18 temperature zones.
