Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "Pleased to meet with Tatiana Molcean, UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of UNECE.

Expressed sincere appreciation for her personal commitment to Ukraine and UNECE’s valuable contribution to our recovery, particularly its work in Kharkiv and Mykolaiv on reconstruction planning, sustainable infrastructure and international partnerships.

Discussed the immense challenges facing Ukraine’s transport infrastructure due to Russia’s continued attacks. Informed Ms. Molcean about Russia’s deliberate targeting of bridges and railway locomotives, disrupting vital connections, civilian mobility, and essential logistics.

Emphasized UNECE’s important role and expertise in strengthening road, rail and inland waterway networks, developing transport corridors and facilitating Ukraine’s integration into European transport networks.

Requested enhanced UNECE technical and expert support in restoring and strengthening critical transport infrastructure, particularly bridges, railway connections and locomotive capacity, as well as developing alternative multimodal corridors, including river routes, to ensure resilient connectivity.

Warmly invited Ms. Molcean to visit Ukraine and witness firsthand both the challenges and our determination to overcome them".
