Passenger train in the Carpathians. File photoMOSCOW, Apr 26Regular rail passenger traffic in Ukraine has fallen by 60%, Alexander Pertsovsky, head of the Ukrainian Railways (Ukrzaliznytsia) passenger division, said.
" Today, we have about 40-45% of people in the regular message, when compared with the month of February & # 34;, — he said on the air of the TV channel & # 34; Ukraine 24 & # 34;.
Pertsovsky explained that it was about the regular railway service, where train tickets are sold. The above statistics do not take into account evacuation trains, the need for which periodically arises and causes a peak load on the railway, he added. Earlier in March, Valery Tkachev, deputy director of the commercial work department of Ukrzaliznytsia, stated that three times less grain is exported from Ukraine by rail than possibly. According to him, bureaucratic obstacles in the EU countries, the unpreparedness of foreign ports to increase transportation volumes, and the difference in railway gauge in Ukraine and in the EU prevent exports from increasing. jpg» />The Russian Armed Forces destroyed six substations for the supply of Western weapons to Kyiv
