Volodymyr Omelian noted the intensity and high impact of the Ukrainian-Polish dialogue in 2018.

The direct railway connection between Ukraine and Poland, launched in 2016, is an example of a successful implementation of Ukrainian-Polish projects. And now the two countries are actively working on the extension of the railway connection between Ukraine and Poland. I thank Poland for its active position on this issue and the full support of the initiative,” said Omelian.
