"We're working to introduce a railway service with Krakow. Perhaps, we'll go for our Polish counterparts' proposal and do it with the use of the SUW 2000 variable gauge system. We're now looking into options," Ukrzaliznytsia's press service quoted CEO Wojciech Balczun as saying.

In his words, Ukraine is busy with improving international railway services with neighboring countries.
