First Deputy Minister of Economy of Ukraine Oleksii Sobolev and Deputy Director of the Ukrainian Service of the European Commission's Directorate-General for Neighbourhood and Enlargement Negotiations (DG NEAR) Marlene Madsen visited the Port of Odesa
The operation of the Ukrainian Grain Corridor and its critical importance for the global food security, the urgent need to strengthen the protection of port infrastructure due to the increasing number of hostile attacks, free navigation, and the strategic importance of ports for the Ukrainian economy - these topics are constantly in the focus of attention of the Ukrainian authorities and our foreign partners.
During the visit, the possibilities of attracting funds from the Ukraine Facility program for the development of the port sector were also discussed.
For reference:
Ukraine Facility is the EU support mechanism for Ukraine amounting to 50 billion euros, which will operate from 2024 to 2027 and will be aimed at financing the state budget, stimulating investments, as well as providing technical support in implementing reforms.
