About 50 km upriver, to the west, Hungarian money will finance a rebuilding of the road bridge over the Tisa at Chop, currently the busiest crossing point. Hungary first offered the loan to Ukraine’s state highway agency several years ago. The money was unlocked by last week’s visit to Kyiv of Péter Szijjártó, Hungary’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade. Zakarpattia is the homeland of Ukraine’s Hungarian-speaking minority.
