A new China-Kyiv container train – passing through Mongolia and Russia – will become weekly, reports Gudok 1520, a Moscow-based railroad news site. Alexander Polishchuk, director of Kyiv’s left bank freight depot in Liski is quoted saying: “In the future, it may be two trains a week or even more, up to four.” Ivan Yuryk, the Ukrzaliznytsia head, is quoted saying: “We will negotiate with businesses regarding the possibility of exporting to China. We would like to show that this is a faster and more economically profitable route than the sea route.”
