Ukraine will receive 20 General Electric locomotives before the end of 2018, Director for Economics and Finance at PJSC Ukrzaliznytsia Andriy Riazantsev has said. 

He said this during a forum of the European Business Association on Tuesday, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"About 20 locomotives will arrive by the end of the year. We will most likely get 15. The others will come in January-February 2019," Riazantsev said.

The first locomotive TE33AS manufactured by General Electric has already arrived at the port of Chornomorsk in September 2018.
