Ukrzaliznytsia has updated timetable for commuter trains in Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia regions

In Ukraine, the timetable for some commuter trains in the Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia regions is being changed due to the security situation.

According to Censor.NET, this is stated in a report by Ukrzaliznytsia.
