Russia targeting Ukraine’s key railway hubs – Ukrzaliznytsia CEO

This was stated in a comment to Ukrinform by Oleksandr Pertsovskyi, CEO of the JSC Ukrzaliznytsia.

“Shahed drones are massively attacking our key stations. Examples include attacks on Lozova station, Synelnykove station, and Koziatyn station. Essentially, they are striking junction stations across the country,” Pertsovskyi emphasized.

He noted that these are complex attacks, targeting power substations, locomotive depots, and passenger terminals. “The enemy strikes in a way that, in essence, aims to destroy the hub,” he added.

Pertsovskyi also highlighted the heroism of Ukrzaliznytsia employees, who, despite repeated attacks, go out and restore the infrastructure. “Even when key junction stations are under attack, we do not cancel trains. We find ways to adjust schedules, but we always keep them running. Ukrainians notice this and thank railway workers for their resilience,” the CEO said.

As reported by Ukrinform, overnight on August 28, Russian forces carried out a targeted strike on civilian passenger rolling stock.
