Head of the Belarusian Railway Vladimir Morozov said that after the Russian military operation in Ukraine, more than 7 thousand Belarusian railway cars (not only the Belarusian Railways, but also companies) are stuck there, their status is unclear, the Ukrainian side makes no contact on the subject.
We understand that this is far from being the case. And most likely the wagons are used for transportation. The wagons may be involved in different events. So far, officially, neither the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine nor the Ukrainian Railway has contacted us on this issue.
Vladimir Morozov:
“This is a serious figure. This is republican state property. The task is to return it and assess the damage. Five thousand for the Belarusian Railway is almost 900 million rubles. This information was discussed at the level of the head of the state. We need these railcars. We need them for the model, for meeting our transportation requirements. And we developed such a program for the five years, taking into account the capacities of our two plants.”
Vladimir Morozov also informed that there are about 500 Ukrainian railroad cars on the Belarusian side. They are all under control and not confiscated. They are now located on the territories of the consignee enterprises or the partners with whom they used to work.
According to him, at the first stage the task was to return people. In fact, within a month Belarusian train drivers and the staff managed to come back via Poland. And, accordingly, we were able to return the Ukrainian railroad workers to their homeland.
