BERLIN, March 11. /TASS/. The German railway carrier Deutsche Bahn has stopped delivering humanitarian cargo to Ukraine free of charge, the German weekly Spiegel reported citing sources.

After the outbreak of hostilities in Ukraine, the carrier began to transport aid there free of charge as a sign of support. "This support ended as quickly as it began. As of January 1, 2023, [subsidiary] DB Cargo appears to no longer be offering free transportation," the magazine says.

Since February last year, DB Cargo has transported 1,300 containers of humanitarian aid to Ukraine. Transport costs amounted to about 5 million euros, the magazine notes.
