Ukrzaliznytsia announced three international trains that will connect Kyiv and Dnipro with the Polish cities of Chelm and Przemysl. One of the services will get flagship status and will be named after Ukrainian historian and statesman Mykhailo Hrushevsky.

This was reported by the press service of Ukrzaliznytsia on October 21 .

Train No. 23/24 Kyiv — Chelm will become the flagship and will be named after Mykhailo Hrushevsky. The company explained the choice by the fact that the route connects two cities that played an important role in the historian's life. Hrushevsky was born in Chelm, which is now in Poland, and worked in Kyiv for almost 20 years.

In Przemysl, passengers can transfer to trains going to Berlin, Prague, Krakow, Katowice and Wroclaw. Thus, the route will allow continuing the journey to other cities in Poland, Germany and the Czech Republic.

Train No. 73/74 Dnipro — Przemysl will depart from Dnipro at 19:00 and arrive in Przemysl at 14:10 the next day. The route will pass through Oleksandriia, Kamianske, Piatykhatky, Znamianka and Lviv.
