Yanukovych labels Hyundai trains purchase as serious mistake
A decision to purchase Korea's Hyundai high-speed trains was a serious mistake, Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych has said.
"... A serious mistake was made during the preparations (for the Euro 2012 European Football Championship). I mean the infamous Hyundai trains. While they coped with their tasks in summer, they showed their complete unpreparedness to the Ukrainian winter," Yanukovych said in an interview with the Komsomolskaya Pravda v Ukraine newspaper published on Friday.
According to the president, those responsible for this transport project should draw conclusions.
"After all, Ukraine had its own model of a high-speed train. We needed to invest into their serial production, and not into the purchase of imported equipment," Yanukovych said.
