TRADE AND LOGISTICS BETWEEN THE EU AND UKRAINE IN THE WARTIME PERIOD by Oleksandr Shnyrkov, Rita Zablotska, Oleksii Chugaiev

“…Additionally, there was a smaller increase in the importance of rail transport for Ukrainian imports, rising from 5.7% to 9.3%, compensating for the declining shares of sea and air transport. Regression analysis showed that pre-war dominant modes of transport, logistics performance in trade partners, and their changes during the war did not significantly affect Ukraine’s trade dynamics with them in 2023 compared to 2021, after controlling for other factors. …”
