In the following years of operation and up to 2025 inclusive, Ukrzaliznytsia only received a profit for the year twice - in 2021 in the amount of about UAH 0.5 billion and in 2023 in the amount of about UAH 5 billion.

In 2021, Serhii Leshchenko received a record salary for the entire time he worked on the carrier's supervisory board - over UAH 3.9 million, and in 2023 - almost UAH 3 million per year.
