As he noted TASS, the German side intends to provide only advisory services to the company "Ukrzheldoroga."
“The engineering and consulting company DB Engineering & Consulting, a member of Deutsche Bahn and engaged in projects in the field of infrastructure, mobility and transport, will support and advise the Ukrainian Railways on business and technical issues,” the source said.
According to him, in early February, the corresponding memorandum of intent should be signed in Kiev and details of cooperation will be recorded in it.
When asked whether there was also talk of “managing” Ukrainian railways, Eckstein noted that the issue was about consulting.
“It's about consulting,” he said.
Goncharuk said earlier that Ukrainian railways are planned to be transferred to the management of the German company Deutsche Bahn. According to him, the corresponding infrastructure will be transferred to the management of German business for ten years.
