The construction of the Chernivtsi-Suchava (Romania) European railway will begin in 2026, and a feasibility study is being prepared, Deputy Finance Minister Oleksandr Kava said.
“Under an optimistic scenario, construction of the European railway to the city of Chernivtsi (from Suceava, Romania – IF-U) may already begin next year… A feasibility study is currently being prepared for the project. Chernivtsi has the opportunity to become the second regional center after Uzhhorod to get access to the European gauge directly in the city,” Kava said at the conference ‘Logistics as a Driver of Economic Growth’ organized by the We Build Ukraine think tank.
According to him, the construction of the Chop-Uzhhorod European railway is currently underway, funded 50% by Connecting Europe Facilities (CEF) and 50% by the state budget.
The launch of this Euro-gauge is planned for the summer of 2025, Kava said.
“This (Chop-Uzhhorod European railway – IF-U) will not only allow to launch direct passenger trains from Uzhhorod to Budapest, Bratislava, Prague, Vienna, Dresden, but will also enable shippers operating in Uzhhorod to send goods via the European railway to partners in Europe and also receive goods, containers and materials from European countries directly to Uzhhorod,” the deputy minister said.
Earlier it was reported that Ukrzaliznytsia JSC (UZ) made temporary changes to the schedule of a number of passenger trains heading to Uzhhorod until the end of July due to large-scale work on laying a European standard track between Chop and Uzhhorod.
At a meeting with European Commissioner for Sustainable Transport and Tourism Apostolos Tsitsikostas, Vice Prime Minister for Reconstruction of Ukraine and Minister of Community and Territorial Development Oleksiy Kuleba said that direct European gauge rail service to Uzhhorod would be launched in the second half of 2025.

This year, Energoatom plans to continue the practice of reducing the timeframe for the repair campaign at Ukrainian NPPs, which was achieved in 2023-24, the company’s CEO Petro Kotin said.
“We manage to do this at an accelerated pace and, which is very good, without reducing the quality of repairs (…) We reduced the repair time last year. This year, we also plan to reduce the timeframe wherever possible,” he said on the Energo LIVE program.
As explained by the CEO, the main measure during scheduled outages at nuclear power units is nuclear fuel reloading.
“Nuclear fuel reloading is what a nuclear power unit needs to ensure that it operates continuously for one year afterwards,” he said.
Along with the transshipment, the company is carrying out repair work to restore the equipment and bring it to the highest standards.
As reported, in 2024, Energoatom continued the practice of reducing the total duration of scheduled repairs of power units, reducing them by another 59 days. The repair campaign was planned so that all nine power units located in the territory controlled by Ukraine could operate during the cold season.
Currently, Energoatom operates nine power units at South Ukrainian, Rivne and Khmelnytsky NPPs with a total capacity of 7880 MW. All of them are located in the territory controlled by Ukraine.
Zaporizhzhia NPP with six VVER-1000 power units with a total capacity of 6,000 MW has not been generating electricity since September 11 of the same year after its occupation on March 3-4, 2022.
