 President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has said that Ukraine is considering the possibility of transferring the ports of Chornomorsk and Berdiansk to concession, as well as the privatization of three more ports.

"Now we are working out the possibility of transferring the ports of Chornomorsk and Berdiansk to concession, as well as the privatization of three more ports," he said at a joint briefing with Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz in Vienna on Tuesday.
