The EU bolsters the resilience of JSC “Ukrainian railways”

SC “Ukrainian railways” has received another aid package from the European Union and from Germany, aimed at strengthening the Company’s operational resilience amid the ongoing war and persistent attacks on railway infrastructure.

Today, the equipment was officially handed over to Ukrainian railway workers by an EU delegation led by Kaja Kallas, High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, and Johann Wadephul, the Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs of Germany.

The EU, through the Service for Foreign Policy Instruments (FPI), has provided 23 units of equipment, including vehicles and generators. An additional 25+ units have been announced, including dump trucks, excavators, low-loaders, trucks, and generators. This machinery will facilitate the restoration and repair of damaged sections and infrastructure facilities. In the event of power outages or blackouts, the provided generators will ensure the uninterrupted power supply to signaling posts and other railway systems.

Germany is honored to contribute 18 vehicles valued at 600,000 EUR to the Ukrainian railway as part of a joint Team Europe effort.

All the equipment will be distributed among the divisions of JSC “Ukrainian railways” and deployed to high-priority areas to ensure the continuous operation of passenger and freight services and to strengthen the Ukrainian railway.
