On Tuesday, February 8, French President Emmanuel Macron arrived in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, on a diplomatic mission to resolve the conflict on the Russian-Ukrainian border. In addition to geopolitical matters, an important element of the meeting was the tightening of economic cooperation. As a result of the meeting, which was also attended by representatives of leading companies from both countries, a number of bilateral documents were signed. One of them was the finalization of the contract for the supply of 130 Alstom locomotives for the Ukrainian state carrier Ukrzaliznytsia.
During a meeting with media representatives following talks with Emmanuel Macron in Kyiv, Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that the involvement of France in joint economic and, above all, infrastructure projects was an important issue in their talks.
As part of the Ukrainian-French meeting, the Board Chairman at JSC Ukrzaliznytsia Oleksandr Kamyshin and Chairman and CEO of Alstom Henri Poupart-Lafarge signed a Memorandum of Understanding between JSC Ukrzaliznytsia and Alstom Transport SA.
"Today, we have finalized the agreements and put into practice the implementation of a very important project for the supply of 130 ALSTOM locomotives for EUR 900 million," confirmed President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at a joint press conference.
