Ukrainian Railways (Ukrzalyznitsya) is to acquire freight cars from Ukrainian facilities, which will allow supporting state-owned car manufacturers, the RZD-Partner quotes Ukrainian Prime Minister Vladimir Groisman.

“Next year we are going to build 800 new cars at the Darnitsky Car-Building Plant and buy over 6,000 cars built by Ukrainian car-builders”, Mr. Groisman said.
