Mykola Kalashnik
Minister for Recovery, Infrastructure and Transport
Recently he met with railway workers and discussed this decision directly with the team, the management of Ukrzaliznytsia, the supervisory board, and members of parliament. One of the first decisions of our ministry team was to support indexation of Ukrzaliznytsia’s freight tariffs. We understand that this is a difficult decision for business. But the railway needs resources for transportation, repair and restoration after Russian attacks. And no less important – for people.
The next stage of freight tariff indexation is planned from 1 January 2027 of the year. This will allow continuing the phased review of salaries next year. In particular, JSC Ukrzaliznytsia will soon inform employees of the details of the raise.
Equipment can be repaired. Infrastructure – restored. But the railways run because of people. Every day railway workers risk their lives and their pay should be brought back to a decent level,
– stated Kalashnik.

Recall that currently the enemy is actively attacking Ukrzaliznytsia locomotives and passenger trains. This creates danger, in particular for the company’s workers.
At the same time, the All-Ukrainian Agricultural Council spoke out against yet another increase in tariffs for freight rail transport. It is emphasized that this will negatively affect the country’s economy in the conditions of full-scale war.
