A freight train linking Danang City of Vietnam and Europe was recently suspended due to concerns over the Russia-Ukraine military conflict, according to the Vietnam Railway Corporation (VNR). It was scheduled to be launched early this month. The train consists of 23 40-foot containers, transporting IKEA-branded furniture to Europe.

The train would depart from Danang to Hanoi’s Dong Anh station, stop at the Dong Dang international railway station in Lang Son Province for customs clearance and then travel on to China’s Zhengzhou station before connecting to the Asia-Europe rail line to get to its destinations.

Due to Russia’s special military operation against Ukraine, IKEA suspended the plan, according to Vietnamese media reports.

Trains from Vietnam to Russia and China have not been affected though.

In July 2021, VNR operated the first container train from Hanoi to Belgium. It currently runs three container trains from Hanoi to Europe per week.
