Public joint-stock company Ukrzaliznytsia has said that a decision of judge of Kyiv's business court Maryna Lytvynova in case No. 910/9053/16 dated May 23 is unjustifiable.

The judge banned the company from implementation of the agreement to ship lubricants to railways.

The press service of Ukrzaliznytsia said that the shipment agreement was signed on May 11 between Trade Commodity LLC and the Ukrzaliznytsia's branch – Center for Production Maintenance.

"Due to the court ruling in favor of one of bidders in the tender – Miroil LLC – the sector would be left without lubricants in several days. Railways would not be able to be engaged in transportation, including to the ATO zone," the company said.

Ukrzaliznytsia will file a counterclaim to Kyiv's appeal business court. Lubricant stocks supplied by Trade Commodity LLC are enough for a week. Railways consume 28 tonnes of lubricants a day on average.

"This was the only supplier of lubricants, as the results of the tender for three lots were annulled by Ukraine's Antimonopoly Committee due to a claim of Miroil," the company said.
