            “In order to increase exports, we need to not only build border infrastructure but also upgrade the quantity and quality of rolling stock. For the first time in the history of Ukraine, a grain carrier was manufactured at the production facilities of Ukrzaliznytsia, which is maximally adapted for the transportation of goods through the territory of Ukraine and the EU. It takes into account all the requirements, features and dimensions of the infrastructure,” said Yevhen Liashchenko, Chairman of the Board of JSC Ukrzaliznytsia.
