CEO of Ukraine's state-owned railways operator Ukrzaliznytsia Wojciech Balczun has announced his company will launch a direct train service from Lviv to Varna on June 15.
"Today Ukrzaliznytsia is linking Kyiv with the five capitals of our western neighbors: Prague, Bratislava, Budapest, Warsaw, and Bucharest. A rail service between Kovel and Chelm is about to be launched, and a train between Lviv and Varna, which will also go via Ivano-Frankivsk and Chernivtsi, will be put into operation from June 15. It should make trips of our citizens to the beaches of sunny Bulgaria more convenient," Balczun wrote on Facebook on Sunday evening.
