Ukrzaliznytsia transferred scheduling of rail traffic from the hostility area of Donetsk to territory controlled by Ukraine as of April 20th which led to the almost total suspension of railway traffic from the occupied part of the region. It is reported by segodnya.ua.

"More than 100 freight trains stand idle", - said the representative of Metinvest during the meeting of Minister of Infrastructure Vladimir Omelyan with members of the European Business Association in Kiev on Friday.

The head of the Ministry of Infrastructure confirmed that transfer of scheduling by Ukrzaliznytsya to controlled territory. According to him, one of the is illegal requirements that are regularly put forward to companies registered in Ukraine on the uncontrolled territory.

Omelyan noted that this question would be transferred to the Minsk format of negotiations and predicted that its solution would take some time, so we shouldn’t expect it to be solved "in a week."
