Public joint-stock company Ukrzaliznytsia intends to launch UZ Cargo freight company at a full capacity early next year.

An Interfax-Ukraine correspondent has reported that that Ukrzaliznytsia acting Board Chairman Yevhen Kravtsov gave the information on Tuesday, presenting the company's development strategy.

"The freight company was created earlier. I think that from January 1, 2018 it will start operating at a full capacity," he said.

As reported, early 2017, it was decided to separate branch of Ukrzaliznytsia UZ Cargo and create UZ Cargo International, which will help developing international operations.
