As per data from the Ministry of Infrastructure, more than 50% of the roads in Ukraine are in a poor state.
By traffic volumes, Ukraine’s railway ranks among the first in Europe and Asia, with the workload of Ukrainian railways being 3-5 times that of other European countries.
Major airports are: Kyiv Boryspil Airport, Dnipropetrovsk Airport, Kharkiv Airport, Lviv Airport, Donetsk Airport, Odessa Airport, and Simferopol Airport.
Out of the 13 ports of the country, 5 are deep-water ports: the Pivdennyi Port, the ports in Chornomorsk, Odesa, Mykolaiv. About 60% of handled freight comes through the three largest of them, i.e. Odesa, Illichivsk and PivdennyiPorts. All Ukrainian ports are at the moment state-owned enterprises.
