“Personally speaking, I don’t think the Russia-Ukraine conflict will have a substantial impact on the New Silk Road, the number of trains transiting Ukraine is very limited, which in fact is the case in the last decade. Most of the trains are sent to Germany, since there is no advantage of transiting Ukraine in terms of distance and cost”, Jet Young from Nurminen stated. “The possibility of a large-scale war between Russia and Ukraine is unlikely, and even if that happens, the main route via Mala-Brest won’t be cut off. Even during the Cold War, trains were still running on the corridor.”
