Socar, the Azeri state oil company, will build a transport hub – for cars, buses, trucks and trains – at the Chonhar control point near Ukraine’s administrative line with Russia-controlled Crimea. Executives of Socar’s Ukraine unit, Ukrzaliznytsia, Kherson Region and the relevant Ukrainian ministries signed an agreement Tuesday. Expanding a basic control point built last fall, the expanded transport hub would offer passport control, a restaurant, pharmacy, ATM machines, gas station and a passenger terminal for buses and trains north to Melitopol and on to Kyiv. Prior to Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014, most trains to the peninsula passed through Chonhar.
