Abstract

Intensification of cross-border cooperation in border regions of Ukraine and Poland should be one of the priorities in the wartime and post-war period. This is primarily substantiated by the significant problems in organizing international logistics of international trade due to the blockade of the sea ports. The paper presents a comprehensive approach to assessing the effectiveness of international logistics and its organization in Poland and Ukraine. The approach utilizes a set of indicators that characterize the current conditions of the transport-logistics system in terms of infrastructural support. Namely, indicators in clude the Logistics Performance Index, logistics costs, 3PL revenues, export of goods, import of goods, export of transport services, import of transport services, the balance of export-import operations, export-import coverage ratio, volumes of cargo transportation by various modes of transport, cargo turnover by various types of transport, volume of direct Ukrainian investments in Poland, volume of direct Polish investments in Ukraine. The diagnostics results make it possible to identify the key barriers inhibiting the effective organization of foreign economic logistics in the foreign trade of Ukraine and Poland. Restoration of Ukraine’s economy requires a flexible logistics system capable of quickly responding to external threats and adapting to them. For this reason, the authorities, business, academia and researchers, the public, and the international community must direct their efforts at overcoming the challenges created by the war. Current logistics infrastructure must be reoriented and all export flows must be redirected from the southern seafaring ports to western land ports. Finally, there should be sufficient institutional basis for the emergence of a cross-border transport and logistics cluster as a tool for territorial development of Ukraine and Poland.
