President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy stands for the adoption of the law on inland water transport, which will allow the development of a cheap type of freight transportation and preserve Ukrainian roads.
During a conversation with media representatives in the Kherson region, the President noted that the state now invests billions of hryvnias in the repair and construction of highways, and then overloaded trucks drive there and destroy the roadway.
"The country should have several ways of transportation. Water transport is one of the cheapest types of transportation," the President said.
According to the Head of State, the draft law on water transport is being considered by the relevant committee of the Verkhovna Rada, but there are disputes among deputies about its final version.
"I am confident that we will pass this law, and this type of transport, which we really need, will start working. And we will develop shipping and transportation," Volodymyr Zelenskyy stressed.
