Ukrainian Railways transported 6.1 million tons of iron ore for export during January-February 2025, marking a significant rise in shipment activity despite ongoing geopolitical challenges. The increase in export volume reflects stable demand from international markets and improved logistical efficiency within the railway network.
According to Ukrainian Railways, the rise in exports was supported by strategic adjustments in freight scheduling and enhanced cross-border transportation agreements. Key export destinations included China, Poland, and Germany, which accounted for nearly 70% of the total volume.
“The railway network’s operational efficiency and increased global demand for iron ore have driven this positive trend,” a spokesperson for Ukrainian Railways stated. The company is now focusing on expanding its capacity to sustain this growth through 2025.
The increased exports come at a time when Ukraine’s steel and mining sectors are facing significant challenges due to supply chain disruptions and rising production costs.
