The Ministry of Infrastructure intends to regain control over Ukrzaliznytsia, Minister of Infrastructure Vladyslav Krykliy has told reporters. “I have already initiated this issue to the prime minister. I think we will begin in the near future,” he said.
The minister noted that the necessary changes to the relevant provision on Ukrzaliznytsia are already being prepared and the transfer could take place in the near future.
“If the Ministry of Infrastructure is responsible for the transport strategy and infrastructure, it is logical that the railway as an integral part of this living organism should go back [under the control of the Ministry of Infrastructure],” the expert said.
