The European Investment Bank (EIB) has signed an agreement with the Moldovan government that includes a €12 million grant from European Union funds for the rehabilitation and modernisation of the railway infrastructure. This grant complements a €41.2 million loan agreement signed in 2023. The project provides an important export corridor for Ukraine and is in line with the "Solidarity Lanes" initiative, which aims to strengthen regional stability and economic resilience by improving Moldova's connection to Europe and Ukraine.
