According to Ukrzaliznytsia
The company attributes a series of delays to safety concerns. If the risk increases, train service may be temporarily suspended.
Passengers are advised not to wait on the platforms during an air raid alert, but to take shelter in bomb shelters or other safe places.
In the event of an evacuation, railway workers urge people to move at least 200 meters away from railway infrastructure facilities.
Train service that was suspended due to an airborne threat resumes once the threat has passed.
