To increase trade ties with Moldova, Ukraine proposes building a bridge over the Dniester, allowing truckers to make the 300km drive from Vinnytsia to Chisinau in five hours. The bridge would replace a ferry, currently a bottleneck on the most direct route between Central Ukraine and Moldova’s capital, Volodymyr Kistion, vice prime minister for infrastructure, writes on Facebook. Referring to a highway bridge joining Yampol, Ukraine with Cosăuți, Moldova, Kistion says the highway would connect “the Baltics with Bucharest.” He adds: “This project is economically beneficial not only for Ukraine and Moldova, but the whole European Union.”
