Since the beginning of August, Russia has launched nearly 300 attacks on the facilities of JSC "Ukrainian Railways". Railway workers manage to restore the infrastructure within an average of 4 hours after the attacks, ensuring the trains keep running. This was reported by the Minister for Community and Territorial Development, Oleksiy Kuleba, on Facebook.

During the full-scale invasion, 221 railway workers were injured, and 37 lost their lives while fulfilling their duties.

"Thanks to the railway workers, even after massive night shelling, trains continue to operate. In places where tracks or stations have been damaged, combined routes are used — train and bus," he wrote.

"Recently, six new carriages, manufactured at the Kryukov Carriage Works, were sent on their routes. Five of them headed to Kharkiv, and one to Dnipro. These are frontline directions where the system is under the greatest load," Kuleba reported.

These carriages are the final ones in a batch of 66 ordered by Ukrainian Railways last year, the minister noted.

More than 160 Ukrainian companies are involved in the production, including those relocated from temporarily occupied territories, he added.
