The Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine (Ukrainian: Міністерство інфраструктури України) functions as the main executive body that controls Ukraine's transportation infrastructure including roads, trains, and communications.
The department is based on the former Transport and Communications Ministry and also oversees the implementation of government tourism policies.
In December 2010, Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych announced that the former Transport and Communications Ministry (Ukrainian: Міністерство транспорту та зв'язку України) would be reorganized into the Ministry of Infrastructure.
The Ministry also consists of several state administrations that specialize in certain fields and coordinate operations of government companies.
In the Imperial Russia and after its dissolution its successor states, a term "ways of communication" encompassed administration of any means of transportation but were focused primarily on railways.
