“Russian aggression against Ukraine highlighted the geopolitical importance of the Rail Baltica project. The Baltic States are in need of this railway line already now, including smooth interconnection with Finland. In addition to the sustainable movement of passengers and goods, there is a need to enhance military mobility. There is no other choice but to deliver the project. And to do it fast. One of the most complex and hardest roles in this task goes to RB Rail. No doubt that the motivation and dedication of the RB Rail team will make Rail Baltica happen. Together, we do a history and I am honoured to be part of it,” said Romas Svedas, Chairperson of the Supervisory Board at RB Rail AS.
