Dnieper blow: Ukrzaliznytsia explained why trains do not stop during shelling

To spread: the carrier's representative noted that the train is a moving object that is much more difficult to get into than any static. And trains carry strategic goods, wounded and evacuated, so it is impossible to stop them. "Ukrzaliznytsia" cannot suspend the movement of train, even when air alarm is heard, and the Russians are firing civilian objects in Ukraine, said the head of the passenger communications of the UZ Oleksandr Shevchenko on the air of TV channel "Kyiv24".

"We work from the first day of a full -scale war. We understand and calculate all these risks, we have scenarios on them. It should be understood that the railway is the only ecosystem where one train stops, others will not be able to go around," he said. Oleksandr Shevchenko noted that Ukrzaliznytsia transports strategic goods, passengers, and makes diplomatic flights of all first persons in the world. "We are carrying wounded from the front, medical trains, we have real realities.

We have evacuations, children's groups, etc. We cannot become and clog this movement. Accordingly, there are trains that must continue traffic in any situation. As for direct danger in the region, then the trail is a lot. He reported that the train is a rather safe object, as far as possible in a country that is undergoing enemy shelling daily. And Ukrzaliznytsia has a 24 -hour connection with the military where it is necessary. And the drivers clearly understand where and how they go.

"But of course, the defeat of Balism - this is not the damage of the train in this case, it is an explosive wave from the damage near the place that was just passing the train. Such cases, unfortunately, occur periodically. This is not the first, and, unfortunately, it must be understood that, probably not the last. " We will remind, on June 24, 2025 the Russians attacked the Dnipropetrovsk region, damaging the passenger train, which traveled 500 people. The Russian rocket damaged five cars.
