"Taking into account that the criminal leadership of Ukrzaliznytsia issues illegal orders, from this time the labor collective of the Southwestern Railways will not accept for execution the orders and instructions of Ukrazaliznytsia," the report says.

As reported, the appointments and dismissals of the heads of the territorial boundaries of the railways are implemented by the decisions of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine on presentation of the central executive authority in the sphere of transport.

"A simultaneous dismissal of the railway management staff can lead to a cessation of activity of the Southwestern Railways, as the dismissed people have an exclusive right to take orders and instructions that ensure the smooth functioning of the railway," the report reads.

As UNIAN reported earlier, the Acting Director of the Ukrainian state railway company Ukrzaliznytsia Maksym Blank fired the leadership of the Southwestern Railways.
