Business in Belarus is causing Stadler Rail to have trouble explaining itself

The rail vehicle manufacturer Stadler Rail finally seems to be making preparations to give up its controversial Belarusian factory. However, this step is not voluntary.

At the plant in Fanipol near Minsk, Stadler Rail employees assemble wagons for Belarus and other former Soviet republics and western markets.

The assembly plant in Fanipol, not far from the Belarusian capital Minsk, has long been a mortgage for the rail vehicle manufacturer Stadler Rail. For years, the company and its patron Peter Spuhler have had to put up with the accusation of doing business in a country ruled by a dictator, Alexander Lukashenko. In view of the invasion of Russian troops in the Ukraine, which also took place from Belarusian territory, Stadler finds himself even more in need of an explanation.
