Show transcript

You can’t underestimate how important this is for the whole of Ukraine.

You can’t underestimate how important this is for the whole of Ukraine.

The road crossing points were overloaded.

A lot of cargo flows changed.

Solidarity Lanes started as an alternative way

of exporting and importing to and from Ukraine.

We had to use all transport modes

that were available when the Black Sea route was closed.

So we are using road, we are using rail,

we are using inland waterways.

We are upgrading the Solidarity Lanes

with new equipment and new routes.

Ukraine needs hope.

It's very important to show that we are ready to help.

This scanner will help [speed up] the current export control times.

It’s a total success story

We have increased the passenger traffic a lot.

We were able to minimise the time needed

to complete customs procedures and the passage of goods

and we are ready to overcome any challenge.

Now, after two years of conflict, the volumes are almost equal to previous levels.

We will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes.
