Ukzaliznytsia should move faster to open its tracks to private freight trains, said

outgoing Infrastructure Minister Vladyslav Krykliy at a farewell speech presented to the Rada yesterday. Alluding to the doubling of world iron ore prices over the last year, he said: “It is impossible to observe how the cost of resources in international markets is growing, and at the same while the rates remain the same.” Krikliy also stressed the UZ should not be allowed to default and that “international partners should be involved in order to receive normal ‘transparent’ financing at a low interest rate and to restructure debts that drag the company down,” reported the Center for Transportation Strategies.
