The export of Ukrainian goods through Romania has increased by 50%, and Poland risks losing its status as Ukraine’s largest transit point.

President Zelenskyy, during a telephone conversation with the President of Romania, Klaus Iohannis, said that the export of Ukrainian products through Romania has already increased from two million tons to more than three million tons per month.

The parties discussed the possibility of further expansion of capacity at border crossing points to enable this figure to reach the target of four million tons.

The vice-president of the Association of International Road Carriers of Ukraine, Volodymyr Balin, believes that “We should be ready for the fact that Poland will no longer be the largest transit point for us to other EU countries.” He noted that Ukrainian cargo carriers actively use alternative routes across the border with other countries of the EU.

According to Balin, all large checkpoints with Poland remain blocked, and only Medyka-Shehyni is working, which has low capacity.
