According to him, a decommissioned trains in Germany are in better condition than the Ukrainian after the restoration.
“I’m not sure I’ll make it to the end of the year. I understand that people travel in inhuman conditions. Absolutely the wrong approach, when we report on the repairs 10 cars, and thousands of them. We really understand that you will never be able to replace them. The second problem is the lack of own production of electric trains”, – said the Minister.
