Ukraine's Trenches: Railways Stand Resilient Against Russian Assault

Russia has launched an intensified offensive on Ukraine's railway infrastructure, utilizing long-range drones to target critical nodes, the state railway company's CEO revealed to Reuters.

Amidst these relentless attacks, the railway network, which employs 170,000 people, remains operational, serving as a crucial conduit for both military equipment and civilian transportation, despite delays and financial strain.

Sabotage and airstrikes pose significant threats, with Ukraine's security services working to deter damages. Quick recovery measures have kept the network functional, although the cost and frequency of repairs continue to rise.
