'Ukrzaliznytsia' announced that ticket sales from Odesa are already open on a daily basis. This will help alleviate bus routes and simplify border crossing for residents of the region.

It should be noted that during the night of December 19, the Russian army again shelled the Odesa region, notably the railway infrastructure. Certain changes in train movements occurred from December 19 to 22.

This will not only ease travel for passengers but will also promote business and trade between countries. The continuation of railway operations promises to strengthen economic ties and create new opportunities for travelers.
