New Road to Bukovel to Be Built Only After War Ends

The State Agency for Restoration and Development of Infrastructure of Ukraine confirmed that it is preparing design materials for a new access road to the Bukovel resort through the village of Polyanytsia, but the start of construction has been postponed until after the end of hostilities.

Work will begin after the war

The agency explained that during the war it is not appropriate to spend state funds on high‑cost road construction. The preparation of design and estimate documentation is seen as a stage prior to future construction, which will only be possible after the end of the war.

The agency also noted that design work takes time and will take at least about a year, and funding for the actual construction works is currently neither planned nor allocated.

Design work and tenders

In Ivano-Frankivsk region, the Service for Restoration and Development of Infrastructure on December 3 announced a tender to develop design documentation for the section from the village of Bystrytsia to the village of Yablunytsia via Polyanytsia, where Bukovel is located. It is expected that this will make it possible to organize a new entrance to the resort from the northwest side.

Other road contracts

In addition, on November 26 the Service signed an agreement with LLC "PBS" for the capital repair of the existing state road Ivano‑Frankivsk – Nadvirna. The contract covers a 23‑kilometre section up to Bystrytsia and is valued at UAH 2.1 billion.

EU Against Google: Why the Latest Fine Could Change More Than Previous Ones

# European Regulators Target Google Again — This Time Over Digital Markets Act Violations. What's Behind the Accusations and Why It Matters Beyond the Corporation European regulators have renewed their scrutiny of Google, this time focusing on alleged violations of the Digital Markets Act. The charges underscore Brussels' increasingly aggressive stance on big tech monopolies and what officials say are anticompetitive practices. The accusations center on how Google leverages its dominance across multiple digital services — from search to advertising to mobile platforms — to disadvantage competitors. Regulators claim the company is using its market power in ways that stifle innovation and limit consumer choice. The case carries significance far beyond Google itself. It signals how the EU is attempting to enforce its landmark Digital Markets Act, legislation designed to curb the gatekeeping power of tech giants. A potential penalty could set precedent for how other large technology companies face similar scrutiny. For consumers and smaller tech firms, the outcome could reshape the digital landscape by creating more room for competition. For Google, fines and operational restrictions could fundamentally alter its business model in Europe, the world's most stringent regulatory market. The case also reflects a broader geopolitical divide, with the EU pursuing a regulatory approach that contrasts sharply with the lighter-touch oversight favored in the United States.
