War in Ukraine Disrupts Some China-Europe Freight Trains, Industry Sources Say

Most China-Europe freight train services were operating normally Wednesday amid the Russia-Ukraine conflict, though some were being diverted away from minor routes through the besieged city of Kyiv and others halted, industry insiders told Caixin.

“Over 98% of the trains head to EU countries passing through Russia, Belarus, and Poland,” said Xu Yingming, the deputy director of the International Market Institute with the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation of the Ministry of Commerce.
