Russian Railways calls Finland's train seizure unlawful
MOSCOW, Dec 15 (Reuters) - Russian Railways on Friday said Finland's state-owned railway company VR had acted unlawfully in seizing four trains co-owned through a joint venture.
"The transfer of trains ... was not agreed," Russian Railways said in a statement.
VR said on Thursday it had seized the Allegro trains that used to travel between the two countries after more than 18 months of negotiations without any result.
Passenger trains between Finland and Russia were suspended in March 2022, following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
