Ukrzaliznytsia commented on the situation under the post.
"The Ukrzaliznytsia app, which sells tickets to women's compartments, issues a clear warning that these are places for women. In this case, the passenger deliberately ignored this requirement, and therefore should not have been allowed to transport in this car. Such cases are rare, but they occur as exceptions," it says.
The company noted that the task of the conductor in such a situation is to find an alternative place for her husband in another car.
"The correctness of the brigade's actions is still being assessed by an internal investigation, but we can already state that according to all protocols, the situation should have been resolved before landing, and not after. Women's coupes are designed for the safety and comfort of women, and the railway asks to respect the existing rules," Ukrzaliznytsia said.
