Attacks on the railway
Since early March, Russia has carried out more than 40 attacks on Ukrzaliznytsia's rolling stock.
According to Oleksandr Pertsovskyi, chairman of the board of Ukrzaliznytsia, Russian attacks have targeted power substations dozens of times since the beginning of the year, and in March, dozens of locomotives were also reported to have been damaged.
In turn, Oleksiy Balesta, Deputy Minister of Community and Territorial Development, reported that nearly 220 strikes on infrastructure facilities were recorded in March alone, indicating that the attacks are systematic in nature.
