Belarusian Railway Sale Rumors Persist After Key Meeting Yields No Decisions
Speculation continues about a potential sale or transfer of Belarusian Railway (BŽD) to Russian entities. A recent meeting of BŽD leadership on October 21, 2025, with key officials and CNN representatives, failed to yield concrete decisions or new agreements.
The meeting, with no pre-prepared agenda, aimed to discuss container operations, coordination at the Kolyadichi station, and shipping Belaruskali products to China. However, no new agreements were reached on developing container routes or shipping potash products to China.
Vladimir Morozov, former BŽD head now at CNN ERA, played an active role. His involvement suggests a shift in stance, aligning more with CNN ERA's expansion than protecting BŽD's interests. The meeting discussed shipping potash fertilizers in containers to China, with CNN ERA and BTLC representatives ready to organize these shipments. Notably, BŽD confined itself to an observer role rather than coordinating the cooperation.
The meeting ended with no concrete decisions or new agreements. Industry rumors hint at a quiet redistribution of the rail freight market through private logistics firms involving former BŽD executives. Despite the lack of decisions, the meeting highlighted the ongoing discussions and potential shifts in the market.
