This was announced by Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal at a government meeting.
The Prime Minister said that Ukraine is creating a single logistics space with the EU to allow people and goods to move quickly and without obstacles in both directions from the border.
Therefore, a pilot project is planned to be launched in 2025 on the Ukrainian-Polish border.
«The third area of our work is the launch of joint customs and border control on the borders with the EU. We expect a pilot project to be launched this year on the Ukrainian-Polish border», said Denys Shmyhal.
