Mykola Kalashnik
Minister for Reconstruction, Infrastructure and Transport
In recent days he met with railway workers and discussed the decision directly with the collective, the management of Ukrzaliznytsia, the supervisory board, and members of parliament. One of the first decisions of our team at the ministry was to support indexation of Ukrzaliznytsia’s freight tariffs. We understand that this is not an easy decision for business. But Ukrzaliznytsia needs resources for transportation, repair and recovery after Russian attacks. And no less important – for people.
The next stage of freight tariff indexation is planned from 1 January 2027 year. This will allow continued step-by-step wage review next year. In the near future, JSC Ukrzaliznytsia will inform employees of the details of the raise.
Equipment can be repaired. Infrastructure can be restored. But the railway operates thanks to people. Every day railway workers risk their lives, and the payment of their work must be brought back to a decent level,
– noted Kalashnik.

We remind you that currently the enemy actively attacks Ukrzaliznytsia’s locomotives and passenger trains. This creates danger, in particular, for the company’s workers.
At the same time, the All-Ukrainian Agrarian Council spoke out against another increase in tariffs for freight railway transportation. It is emphasized that this will negatively affect the country’s economy in the conditions of full-scale war.
