Railway wagon production in Ukraine could create up to 50,000 jobs
Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman has said that production of railway wagons for the needs of public joint-stock company Ukrzaliznytsia at Ukrainian enterprises could create up to 50,000 jobs.
"We have calculated that with the needs of Ukrzaliznytsia we would provide 50,000 people with jobs if we only start producing them at the facilities of state-run enterprises," he said on Shuster Live Show late on Friday last week.
The prime minister said that the quality of wagons made in Ukraine is not worse than imported wagons and their price is significantly cheaper.
