“Experts indicate a shortage of 500,000 square meters of warehouse space in the Kyiv Oblast and another 500,000 square meters nationwide. Since the beginning of the war, the situation has deteriorated significantly, especially when the enemy [Russia] destroyed warehouses to create a food crisis in Ukraine. However, economic growth and the prospects for European integration necessitate an advanced logistics system in Ukraine.”

The company has started the construction of a logistics hub, comprising four complexes spread across four Ukrainian oblasts — Odesa, Lviv, Dnipropetrovsk, and Kyiv. Construction of the first stage in the Odesa Oblast has already begun.
