From December 14, 2025, traveling from Ukraine to Germany will become much more convenient — only one transfer will be required for the trip. The new Ukrzaliznytsia train schedule, which will come into effect this year, will synchronize Ukrainian flights with European routes. This was reported by the carrier's press service on its official Telegram channel.

Cross-border traffic will increase significantly

In December 2025, the number of direct trains between Poland and Germany will increase by 54% — from 11 to 17 flights. This means that Ukrainian passengers will be able to comfortably transfer to German destinations without long waits and at convenient times.

“When returning home or traveling to Germany, you only need to make one transfer,” said UZ.
