KYIV, Sept 16 – Ukraine called on Austrian companies to invest in building rolling stock for Ukrzaliznytsia, the state railroad company, amid growing demand for transportation despite the coronavirus pandemic.

Infrastructure Minister Vladyslav Krykliy, who joined the Ukrainian delegation, led by President Volodymyr Zelensky to Austria, said Austrian companies had implemented similar projects in the region and would be best positioned to lead the effort in Ukraine.
