Prime Minister Grosyman demands a report next week on the shortage of freight cars and trains

Prime Minister Grosyman demands a report next week on the shortage of freight cars and trains from Ukrzaliznytsia’s supervisory board, a new body composed of foreigners and Ukrainians. Infrastructure Minister Omelyan says state railroad causes a ‘thrombus’ (blood clot) in the national economy. Alexander Kalenkov, president of Ukrmetallurgprom, says 320 freight trains failed to appear at metal and mining companies in July and August, causing stocks of iron ore to hit four times normal levels.
