"The issue of stopping passenger transportation by rail to Russia was not considered at the meeting of the National Security and Defense Council," the NSDC press service stated, responding to a request from Interfax-Ukraine.
Russian newspaper "Kommersant" cited several sources close to the government of Ukraine, reporting that as of July 1st, the Ukrainian authorities were planning to completely halt all railway passenger transportation with Russia.
In response, Ukrzaliznytsia stated that it had not made any decisions regarding the cancellation of passenger transportation between Ukraine and the Russian Federation and had not received any such instructions from state authorities.
Sanctions against Russia are approved by the National Security and Defense Council and are put into effect by the President of Ukraine.
