The RF Ministry of Transport has “developed measures” in response to a possible cessation of Ukraine’s rail link with Russia, but hopes that it will not happen before their adoption. This was stated by the head of the Russian department Eugene Dietrich, reports RIA Novosti.
According to him, in the first place after the introduction of such measures citizens of the Russian Federation and Ukraine will be unable to use the services of transport. The Russian minister believes that nothing but inconveniences and discomfort it will cause.
“… The set of measures that could be taken in this case has been processed by us. If such decisions are taken, we will find the opportunity to implement these measures.” In the composition of the measures, I think it is now premature to discuss this issue,” also added he.
Earlier it became known that the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine is considering the closure of the railway connection with the Russian Federation, but the last word remains under the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine and the Cabinet. There are no specific deadlines for closing the railway between Ukraine and Russia.
