Transportation

Bilokurakyne is connected by road with Starobilsk where it has further access to Highway H26 ro Svatove and Bilovodsk, as well as to Highway H21 to Luhansk. However, the section between Shchastya and Luhansk is controlled by the Luhansk People's Republic, and free movement from Shchastya to Luhansk is impossible.

There is a railway line in Bilokurakyne, which is currently disconnected from the rest of the railway network in Ukraine. To the south, it extends to Starobilsk and Kondrashivska Nova, in Stanytsia Luhanska, and to the north it crosses the border to Russia, and further runs to Valuyki. Bilokurakyne railway station has infrequent passenger traffic between Kondrashivska Nova and Lantrativka.
