KYIV, Sep 7 - U.S.-based Greenbrier is interested in cooperation with the state-run Ukrainian railway operator, Ukrzaliznytsia, and is considering the possibility of building about 10,000 railroad cars in Ukraine with maximum localization of production.

This was discussed at a meeting of Ukraine's Infrastructure Ministry and Ukrzaliznytsia with representatives of Greenbrier in Kyiv on September 5.

Infrastructure Minister Volodymyr Omelyan noted the arrival of strategic investors in Ukraine means a new quality of transport infrastructure and economic development, while his deputy Nadiya Kaznacheeva added that Greenbrier's entry into the Ukrainian market can be an important step for the development of rail transportation, and is also a powerful signal for other foreign investors.
