Ukrainian Railways' latest attempt to raise freight tariffs has drawn criticism from industry leaders, who argue that the move could severely impact the country's economy.
Business associations warn that higher transportation costs will make Ukrainian products less competitive in global markets, particularly in sectors like agriculture, mining, and steel. Previous tariff hikes have already placed financial strain on companies, and further increases could lead to reduced production and job losses.
Stakeholders are urging authorities to reconsider the tariff policy and focus on improving railway efficiency rather than imposing additional costs on businesses.
