Four European transport corridors will be extended to the territory of Ukraine and Moldova, including the ports of Odessa and Mariupol, the European Commission has announced. This will help increasing transport connectivity of these two countries to the EU, facilitating economic exchanges and better connections for people and businesses alike. 

Two of the corridors pass through Bulgaria - the Rhine-Danube Core Netork Corridor and the North-South transport corridor connecting the three seas- the Baltic, Black and Aegean, the BNR’s correspondent in Brussels Angelina Piskova reported.

"In view of the Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine, and the position adopted by Belarus in this conflict, cooperation with Russia and Belarus on transport is no longer considered appropriate, nor in the interest of the EU.  The proposal therefore removes Russia and Belarus from the TEN-T maps", the European Commission notes.
