Starting February 1, ticket prices for certain trains will increase, with "Ukrzaliznytsia" announcing the affected routes.

"Ukrzaliznytsia" announced a reduction in discounts for international trains to Poland and Hungary starting February 1. This will result in an increase in ticket prices for these routes. Meanwhile, prices for flights to Austria and Moldova will remain unchanged. This was reported by "Ukrzaliznytsia" on Tuesday, January 28.

Previously, the company had reached agreements with its foreign partners on special discounts to stimulate demand for international transportation. However, due to rising energy resource and material costs, as well as losses amounting to 18 billion hryvnias in 2024, the carrier is forced to revise these conditions, the company explained.

Price Increase for Tickets to Poland and Hungary

The cost of travel to Poland will increase:

• in first-class Intercity+ and SV cars — by 20-27%;
• in coupe — by 9-27%.

Ticket prices will also change for trains on the following routes:

• Kiev — Warsaw will rise by 37%;
• Kiev — Budapest will increase by 17% for SV cars and by 21% for coupe.

Until January 31 inclusive, tickets for February flights can be purchased at the old prices through the official website or mobile application of "Ukrzaliznytsia".

Recall that on December 9, "Ukrzaliznytsia" announced plans to raise freight tariffs by 37%.

On January 17, NABU and SAP reported on the suspicion of a current member of the Ukrainian parliament. According to the investigation, he and an accomplice developed a scheme that involved supplying products from JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia" at inflated prices.
