Ukrzaliznytsia

In August, 89.3 thousand tons of oil were exported by rail — 52% more than in the same period last year.

The cessation of the maritime corridor could lead to a significant reduction in Ukrainian iron ore exports.

In August, Romania took first place in terms of the volume of Ukrainian grain received by rail – an average of 44.7 wagons are transferred through border crossings per day.

UZ is negotiating with neighboring countries to expand transit corridors for Ukrainian grain exports amid Russian attacks on Black Sea ports.

Farmers have called on the government to postpone the planned increase in Ukrzaliznytsia’s freight tariffs and review approaches to tariff formation.

Ukrzaliznytsia has extended and expanded restrictions on the transportation of grain cargo to certain port stations in the Odesa region.

JSC Ukrzaliznytsia is preparing a “plan B” for cargo transportation due to the suspension of ships’ calls to the ports of Great Odesa.

Business proposes to limit the increase to 5-10% after open consultations, as a sharp increase in tariffs may reduce the cargo base and reduce exports.

JSC Ukrzaliznytsia increased the transportation of grain cargo by almost 18% in the first six months of 2026.

The changes will actually give Ukrzaliznytsia the right to “manually” determine tariff distances during martial law.
