KIEV, Feb. 7 – Ukrainian manufacturers and exporters oppose the increase of tariffs for cargo transportation by rail by 25% announced by the Infrastructure Ministry.

The Ukrainian League of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs has sent a letter with the positions of Ukrainian associations to Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman.

The ULIE said that the 25% rise in the tariffs creates large risks: billions of hryvnias would be washed out of the working capital in the agricultural, metal, engineering and other sectors.
