Siberian Rail Tariffs Reduced

The Federal Tariffs Service reduced charges on transporting grain and flour exports from the Siberian Federal District and the Kurgan region, the service said.

The tariffs will be cut by half for distances that exceed 1,100 kilometers, the service said Thursday, without providing cash amounts. The reduction will run through June 30 next year for shipments to ports and railway stations on the borders with North Korea, China and Mongolia, the service said. The new rate will apply through Dec. 31 for shipments to the border with Ukraine, it said.

The same reduction will apply to shipments of soybeans and soybean oil meal from the Far East Federal District to all destinations through June 30, the service added.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
