Ukraine plans to launch railway route to Varna in Bulgaria early June – dpty PM
Ukraine plans to launch a railway route from Kyiv to Varna (Bulgaria) in early June, which will run through Lviv, Chernivtsi, Suceava, and Bucharest, announced Deputy Prime Minister for Reconstruction and Minister of Community Development Oleksiy Kuleba.
According to his post on Telegram on Monday, the Romanian and Bulgarian sides have preliminarily agreed on the possibility of including the relevant route in the PSO (state procurement) mechanism, which would potentially reduce ticket prices, but negotiations on this issue are still ongoing.
"The next step is finalizing the tariff decision and launching a test train together with partners," Kuleba noted.
At the end of March, it was reported that Ukraine and Bulgaria announced plans to launch a test passenger train via Romania this summer.
