Will connect Romanian Ports with Ukrainian Border: A new road is under construction
Details
Romania is rapidly implementing a project to create a transport corridor between Ukraine and European Union countries, bypassing the territories of Poland and Hungary.
The new transport route is expected to connect Romanian ports with the Ukrainian border, and its completion is planned this year, according to Romanian media.
Romania is actively constructing the “Moldavian motorway”, stretching from Bucharest to the border with Ukraine. The track will run along the route: Buzeu, Fokshani, Bakeu, Roman, Pashkan, and Suceava, connecting with the Ukrainian road M19 near Ceret. The project currently employs thousands of workers and hundreds of vehicles. According to the media, the completion of construction is planned soon.
This transport route has strategic importance for Ukraine, as it opens a new European transport artery. In addition, the motorway will give Ukraine access to Romanian ports, as well as create an alternative route to the EU countries bypassing Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia. The project is funded by Romania and supported by EU funds.

Thirty-three years ago, a ceasefire brought an end to the Transnistrian War—sometimes described by locals as the Russian-Moldovan War. Although the tensions officially ended in 1992, its consequences continue to shape Moldovan politics, society, and security — especially in view of the upcoming parliamentary elections.
Finland is moving to withdraw from the Ottawa Convention, which bans anti-personnel mines. Prime Minister Petteri Orpo said the decision comes as a direct response to growing aggression from Russia.

The Russian capital faced one of the largest terrorist attacks in its history. The terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall, which claimed the lives of many innocent people, was the second largest after the Beslan tragedy. But unlike previous attacks, this incident is shrouded in a layer of contradictory facts and ambiguities that point to possible miscalculations by the Russian security services
