According to Ukrzaliznytsia representative Valeriya Tkacheva, one of the considered options is container transportation, where a truck is loaded onto a platform and transported by rail.

This is a new type of transportation for us, never having experienced significant demand,” explained the official.

However, he assured that in the conditions of border blockage for road transport, the railway is ready to become an alternative transportation route.

As reported earlier, Ukraine and Poland are exploring ways to unlock the border.
