The General Manager of Lemtrans Vladimir Mezentsev: "The key factor that influenced the reduction of cargo volumes in the first quarter of 2017 was a blockade of railway communications with uncontrolled territories. Our team has done a great job of fulfilling its obligations, given the lack of time and reality that we have encountered. In absolute figures, we lost 200 average daily cargo carriages. To reach the 2016 figures, we must be sure that infrastructure and locomotive craving will not fail us."
