“Russian attacks on Ukrainian ports are becoming increasingly intense. They are indeed damaging our export flows and necessitate reliable alternative routes. “I would like to thank the Moldovan government for granting Ukraine a 50 per cent discount on rail transit through Moldovan territory,” said Koretsky at a joint press briefing with Moldovan Prime Minister Vasile Tofan on Monday in Kyiv, according to the Interfax-Ukraine news agency.
According to him, over the past eight months, the volume of freight transported through Moldova has increased significantly, whilst the volume of transit freight has tripled.
“We have requested that these conditions be extended to 2027 in order to ensure predictable export flows for both Ukraine and Moldova. I believe this is mutually beneficial: additional revenue for Moldova and further diversification for Ukraine,” stated the Ukrainian Prime Minister.
Koretsky also explained that, to increase transit volumes, it is proposed to use Ukrainian locomotives and crews on the Ocnita–Berești section.
