British Steel is in talks with Ukrzaliznytsia to supply rails to Ukraine, Infrastructure Minister Vladyslav Krikliy tells the state railroad’s news site, Magistral. Taken over last month by China’s Jingye Group, British Steel includes a French rail unit, Sogerail, located in the Lorraine region. Minister Krikliy has met twice in the last two months with French Ambassador Etienne de Poncins to discuss France’s offer to finance €100 million worth of rail modernization in Ukraine, largely in government-controlled Luhansk.
