Interesting about the link about the transshipment center for grain. The link is an article from autumn 2022, where the Hungarian Foreign Minister is boasting about its technical development and Hungarian foresight. Not sure he would say the same now, and external funding is not mentioned. Perhaps Warren Buffett’s money is not so offensive to Orban as that of Soros.

And Hungary will receive money for all the extra trains using their tracks (track access charges etc)

Ukraine should have the freedom to wage total war on Russia. Too much is at stake for civilian leadership in the USA to restrain Ukraine.

Note that the technically correct term is "Hungary’s standard gauge rail", not "Hungary’s narrow gauge rail".

Narrow gauge usually starts at around 1067mm (Cape gauge) and continues below that track width.

I have read also about a rail transshipment terminal at the border between Romania and Ukraine, built by GFR (Grampet Group) a few weeks ago.
