Poland Developing Railway Terminal Set to Become Key Logistics Hub for Ukraine’s Reconstruction
Poland has begun work on the development of the Slavków railway terminal in Silesian Voivodeship (south of the country), which will be used for logistics routes between Ukraine and the West, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said during a speech at the European Forum for New Ideas (EFNI) in Warsaw.
The Gaze reports on this with reference to Ukrinform.
‘We have started working very intensively on the Slavkuv terminal. This place is and can be of great importance. It is the end of a wide track from the east, and many companies, not only from Western Europe, have been eyeing it,’ Tusk said.
According to him, this infrastructure is ‘a very tasty piece’, so the Polish government has decided that ‘the Poles, Polish companies, and the Polish state will have 100% control over the development and investment in this place’.
‘We will make money on this. In this way, Poland and the whole world will help rebuild Ukraine, because Slavkuv and this terminal will be a key location in terms of logistics and transport,’ the Polish prime minister stated.
In May 2022, the previous Polish government stated that Warsaw was ready to expand its railway infrastructure to transport Ukrainian grain blocked by Russia to the Middle East and Africa and needed ‘several months’ to do so.
As The Gaze reported earlier, Ukraine has received another 5,000 Starlink terminals from Poland.
