As a result of another series of night attacks by russia, infrastructure facilities were damaged, leading to delays and route changes for several trains. Work to restore the railway network is currently ongoing.

According to Ukrzaliznytsia, energy and railway workers are working around the clock to restore full power supply as quickly as possible and return trains to their normal schedule.

Despite the difficulties, the carrier is organizing transfers, additional cars, and route changes to minimize inconvenience to passengers.
