The Ukrainian Railways public joint-stock company (Ukrzaliznytsia) has launched an additional Intercity+ high-speed train to Poland (from Kyiv to Przemysl) during the Easter holidays.

On the return trip, the train will depart at 20:20 and arrive in Kyiv at 05:23, stopping in Lviv at 23:22. All times local time.
