Kyiv, Ukraine
Russia is targeting Ukrainian railway locomotives and has destroyed or damaged more than 200 since the start of 2026 alone, Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister for Restoration Oleksiy Kuleba said.
Russia has attacked Ukrainian railway facilities more than 1,000 times so far this year, officials say.
Two locomotives were damaged during an attack on Friday evening in the eastern Dnipropetrovsk region, Kuleba said.
The volume of repair work is increasing steadily and requires significant financial resources, he said.
Ukrainian state railways operator Ukrzaliznytsia handles more than 90 per cent of Ukraine’s export shipments.
