Currently, the delays are as follows:

• №779/780 Kyiv-Sumy (+02:57);
• №787/788 Kyiv-Shostka (+01:05);
• №773/774 Shostka-Kyiv (+03:30);
• №143/144 Sumy-Lviv (+01:40).

Passengers may remain in shelters at the stations or in the train cars, depending on the train's location. The press service noted that dispatchers are closely monitoring the situation in the region. Locomotive crews are ready to make up for delays after the air raid alert ends, to check the tracks and ensure safety of movement.

Strategy of attacks on railway infrastructure

Let us remind you that since the middle of summer, the Russian Federation has intensified its strikes on Ukraine's railway infrastructure, carrying out attacks with six to seven Shahed drones almost daily. These strikes hit numerous substations and are linked to an increase in the production of long-range drones in the Russian military-industrial complex. These attacks are not aimed at specific military cargo.

The head of the board of 'Ukrzaliznytsia', Oleksandr Pertsovsky, noted that the Russian actions have a systematic nature, resulting in one substation going out of service after another, and key railway hubs becoming targets of attacks to stop passenger transportation. 'Their first goal is to sow panic among passengers, and the second is to strike at the economy in general,' says Pertsovsky.

Due to the escalation of attacks, Ukrainians face not only train delays but also a real threat to their safety. The Russian strategy is aimed at creating panic among passengers and causing harm to the Ukrainian economy.
