The agency received a letter from the Finnish state railway company VR Group and a letter from Russian Railways.
The letter to the Russian Ministry of Transport, dated June 6, refers to 865 confiscated wagons. Finnish railway concern VR has confirmed that the wagons have actually been confiscated.
In turn, the Russian authorities did not want to comment about it. The confiscated wagons belong to companies directly or through their shareholders affected by EU sanctions.
Recall that in May the Finnish railway announced the termination of contracts with Russia. At the time, the VR Group believed that by the end of this summer, traffic from Russia would be reduced by approximately one-third of its original level.
