Swiss private companies have already supplied rail fastenings for the restoration of about 500 km of Ukrzaliznytsia tracks. In addition, supply of 46 thousand sets of contact network components is ongoing.
As reported by Dilo, this was announced by the Ministry for Reconstruction, Infrastructure, and Transport.
Minister for Reconstruction Mykola Kalashnyk held a meeting with the delegate of the Swiss Federal Council on Ukraine direct cooperation Jacques Herger.
It is noted that during the meeting, the parties discussed projects in the energy sector, restoration of railway and municipal infrastructure, and support for the Ukrainian private sector.
Main directions of Swiss-Ukrainian cooperation:
Railway infrastructure: In addition to current material deliveries for rails, the parties are preparing new projects with the involvement of Swiss business.
Regional energy resilience: By the end of 2026 year, gas piston plants with total capacity 28,5 MW are to be delivered to Kyiv, Kremenchuk, Chernihiv, and Kramatorsk.
G2G financing: In the framework of the first tranche of the Recovery Agreement, 50 million Swiss francs have been allocated for modular boilers, special equipment for rails and energy storage systems.
New grants: The second project proposal competition has been launched for 136 million euros, which provides funding for about 14 projects for Ukrzaliznytsia and the housing and utilities sector.
The official start of new projects involving Swiss companies and Ukrainian beneficiaries is planned for early November in Kyiv. The ministry confirmed interest in deepening partnership with Swiss business to speed up recovery of communities and prepare for the heating season.
Earlier it was reported that Ukrzaliznytsia proposed creating a budget railway operator between Ukraine and the EU. The project envisages the purchase of trains for European gauge, involvement of 441 million dollars in investments, and the launch of the first routes in about four years.
