Ukrainian Vice Premier and Infrastructure Minister Borys Kolesnikov has said that the fact that Ukraine will host the Euro 2012 European Football Championship has significantly contributed to the development of transport in the host cities.

"Euro 2012 significantly contributed into the development of surface transport in all of the host cities (Kyiv, Donetsk, Lviv, and Kharkiv), and underground transport in Kyiv," he said during a press conference on Tuesday.

Kolesnikov said that by the beginning of the championship, the cities will obtain around 400 buses and trolleybuses.

He added that the government and local authorities had done everything possible to improve the roads in the cities that will host the championship.
