“The train was delayed at the border, and, unfortunately, in Chelm, where the Polish side is reconstructing the station, we did not have the resources to properly inform or warm our passengers who were waiting,” the official said.

After negotiations with Polish railway workers, they agreed to create special areas at the station for waiting, informing and warming passengers. The parties also agreed on the use of buses to provide international transfers in case of train delays.

In addition, Pertsovsky noted that in cases where trains arrive after the start of the curfew, Ukrzaliznytsia, together with local authorities, will work to organize bus transportation of passengers.

The head of the company recommended that passengers plan international connections with a reserve of three to four hours at least until January 22. After this, an updated train schedule will come into effect, which takes into account changes in routes for safety reasons..

The scandal occurred on January 10, when the Dnepr - Chelm train stopped for almost nine hours at the Yagodin checkpoint in the Volyn region. Because of this, some passengers missed their transfer to the train to Warsaw and were forced to wait in Chelm, where there was no appropriate infrastructure. According to one of the passengers, the delay occurred due to about 150 cartons of contraband cigarettes from the conductor..

Press secretary of the Volyn border detachment Margarita Vershinina confirmed to Suspilny the fact of the discovery of prohibited goods on the train, but did not disclose details.

" Actuaries have calculated that the debt could reach a billion hryvnia. But the management of Ukrzaliznytsia decides not to notice the problem.

Experts Alexander Tkach and Victor Golub tell how the company manipulates calculations in order to hide the true size of its obligations to people who have given decades of their lives to the railway.
