Under the terms of the new law, all the Ukranian railway infrastructure will become an ownership of the state.
At the same time the government will continue to be a main operator of locomotives in Ukraine through Ukranian Railways, Ukraine’s national railway operator.
According to Andrew Pivovarsky, Ukraine’s Minister of Infrastructure, the government may also allow private companies to operate in the national market of railway communications. It is planned that the new law may be finally approved by the government by the end of April of the current year.
