Proiectul de milioane prin care 200.000 ucraineni treceau prin România spre Bulgaria cu trenul a căzut. De ce? • Newsweek România

The project to establish a direct train link for 200,000 Ukrainians traveling through Romania to Bulgaria has been suspended due to unresolved financial issues. Despite initial agreements among Bulgaria, Romania, and Ukraine, the lack of a funding mechanism has halted progress. Discussions began earlier this year, aiming for a summer 2026 launch, but financial concerns, including ticket pricing and operational costs, remain unresolved. Ukrainian Railways has requested a 30% reduction in ticket prices to make travel more affordable for citizens affected by the ongoing war. However, Bulgarian authorities stated that any price adjustments would require state compensation.
