The State Railway Administration of Ukraine (Ukrzaliznytsia) will create a structure to manage high-speed trains, Ukrzaliznytsia Deputy Director General Leonid Loboiko has said.
He said at a press conference in Kyiv on Wednesday that the structure first will manage only Hyundai trains, which the Korean company will make for Ukraine. It is planned that the structure will expand its management in the future.
