Checkpoint on the Tysa: Kyiv and Bucharest discussed the launch of a new crossing

22 February , 2026  

Representatives of Ukraine and Romania discussed the status of implementation of the project to build the international border crossing point “Bila Tserkva – Sighetu Marmatiei” on the Ukrainian-Romanian border, as well as the prospects for the development of border infrastructure between the two countries.

During the working meeting, the participants familiarized themselves with the progress of works directly at the construction site. In particular, a retaining wall is currently being built along the bank of the Tysa River, and an embankment has also been formed for the placement of facilities of the first and second phases of construction of the border crossing point.

The parties noted the importance of implementing the project to increase the border’s throughput capacity, develop transport connections, and intensify economic cooperation between the regions.

Special attention during the talks was paid to the prospects for opening new state border crossing points — “Yablunivka – Remety” and “Khyzha – Tarna Mare”. It is expected that their launch will contribute to expanding cross-border cooperation, simplifying logistics, and strengthening partnership relations.

The implementation of infrastructure projects at the border is considered as one of the key directions for the development of border areas and the integration of transport routes in the region.
