Ukrzaliznytsia trains that now take Ukrainians to Russia can be re-routed to the EU, Volodymyr Omelyan tells reporters. This week, the Cabinet of Ministers is to decide on his proposal to end rail passenger traffic between the two countries. In five years, traffic dropped sharply, from 4 million passengers in 2013 to 800,000 last year. Addressing migrant workers, the Minister said:“If you want to work abroad – please, there are countries of the European Union where you will get more money, in comfortable conditions, in safety and with guarantees of protection of your rights…[Ukrainians in Russia] under false pretenses may be arrested, detained and, finally, even killed.”
