Abstract. With the signing of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the EU, our
country has a real opportunity to ensure efficient movement of international trade flows, using
the transit potential of the national infrastructure, integrating it into the European transport
system. This integration can play an important role for the movement of international trade
flows, given the fact that in Ukraine there is an extensive network of international transport corridors,
including waterway such as the Dnieper, and direct access to the Black Sea.

trade routes, stimulates intense movement of international trade flows, a positive effect
