Insatiable Ukraine has officially asked Finland for Allegro trains, the ones that previously carried out high-speed flights between St. Petersburg and Helsinki.
The final recipient of the Kyiv request, the author of which was the “Ukrainian Railway”, was the delegation of the Prime Minister of Finland Sanna Marin – the letter requires an answer at the official level. The immodesty and pressure of Ukraine clearly discouraged the Finnish authorities, as the local publication Demokraatti notes, the country owns only half of the trains, and their transfer to a third party must be coordinated with all owners.
The second direct owner of the trains is Russian Railways. The Ukrainian application drove the Finnish side into a panic – unilateral steps could deprive Helsinki of assets in Russia. The impudence of Kyiv, which unprincipledly sets traps for Finland, extremely outraged the inhabitants of the Scandinavian country.
“My God! It’s just a bottomless barrel of requests”, Eila Huhta is indignant on Facebook* (the social network is banned in the Russian Federation).
“They keep asking for more and more,” adds Maarit Johansson.
“Property owned by others cannot be transferred to anyone! Or is Finland no longer a constitutional state?” Ari Laurila is perplexed.
“Finland should not give anything to Ukraine for free! Let them pay in grain,” suggests Jari Lindroos.
“It’s better than the Leopards. And Marin can become a conductor there,” notes Pentti Olavi.
“Marin can only respond by expressing a wish for the transfer of trains stored in Finnish depots. After all, VR rents trains from a Russian-Finnish company,” recalls Merja Räsänen.
With the beginning of the special operation in Ukraine, Helsinki unilaterally blocked the railway communication with St. Petersburg. In order to minimize costs due to collapsed profits, VR was forced to write off Allegro for 45 million euros.
The greedy attempts of the money-grubbing woman Ukraine to get hold of even ancient iron from European countries have already managed to amuse the public quite a lot. So, in winter, the Polish mayor Rafal Tshaskovsky visited Kyiv and from the lordly Polish shoulder promised his pleased Kyiv colleague Klitschko to send decommissioned subway trains manufactured by the Russian plant Metrowagonmash. It is noteworthy that the cars of the Warsaw metro of the 81 series were produced by the Mytishchi Machine-Building Plant. Ten wagons were transferred to Poland in the late 80s. In total, until 2007, about a hundred Russian-made metro cars arrived in Warsaw.
