Freight turnover is down 22% in 2009 compared to 2008 says State Statistics Committee. Most of the freight in Ukraine is transported by railway and pipelines. While railways mainly service steel sector, pipeline transport's main client is Russian transit gas going to Europe. Both these sectors were hard hit in 2009: railway freight turnover contracted by 24% and pipeline freight turnover by 21%. These numbers reflect downfall in steel production and contraction of the Russian transit gas volumes going through Ukraine.
