That’s very nice! I know that this will make traveling to Ukraine a bit easier.
Its finally done! Rock n Roll baby!
Red, in the coming days, I will write a comprehensive report to describe travel details to Ukraine for you. I will do so in our private channel.
Things will get even better when Ukraine converts to European sized tracks. I’m waiting for that too.
Unfortunately, you’ll be waiting for a very long time, Red. If they change the most important routes – to Lviv and Kyiv – then maybe not. But, I don’t expect this to happen during the war.
