The war became a factor that allowed us to maintain a monopoly and ineffective structure of Ukrzaliznitzі instead of the necessary demonopolization and management reform.
This was stated by the director of the analytical center GMK Center Stanislav Zinchenko.
" There were even negotiations on attracting consultants from Deutsche Bahn to introduce reforms. But the war allowed bureaucrats to cement the old structure, ”Zinchenko said.
According to him, despite the heroic role of Ukrzaliznitzі in the first months of the invasion, the current leadership demonstrates insufficient activity in strategic development. Freight transportation remains profitable, but business in the fourth year of the war cannot be drawn to the general loss of a huge state monopolist.
