Ukrzaliznytsia is the nation’s largest employer – 250,000 people – and the transportation workhorse that moves most of the Ukraine’s grain and metals to the Black Sea ports. Despite this key economic role, Aslund writes: “The government [does not] give Ukrzaliznytsia reasonable regulatory or financial conditions to modernize and become efficient (unjustified land tax, tariffs set far under cost level, insistence on massive overstaffing, etc.). These circumstances leave the company in a precarious financial situation.”
