Swiss engineering companies have successfully supplied highly specialized rail fastenings for the critical restoration of Ukrainian Railways' heavy tracks. The specialized steel infrastructure components are essential for rebuilding domestic rail corridors severely damaged by the conflict. Securing this railway network is vital for Ukraine's heavy industry, enabling the bulk transport of iron ore and finished steel products to western border crossings for export.
