As a result of the massive shelling of railway infrastructure in the Kirovohrad region, Russian troops have caused significant disruptions to passenger train traffic across Ukraine. According to Ukrzaliznytsia, more than 30 trains are delayed, and delays can reach up to seven hours.
To minimize the consequences of the attack, Ukrzaliznytsia quickly changed the routes for some trains. They are going to bypass the damaged section in order to make up for lost time as quickly as possible. Among such flights are:
- No. 75 Kyiv – Kryvyi Rih
- No. 791 Kremenchuk – Kyiv
- No. 85 Zaporizhia – Lviv
- No. 79 Dnipro – Lviv
- No. 51 Zaporizhia – Odesa
- No. 119 Dnipro – Chelm
- No. 37 Zaporizhia – Kyiv
- No. 31 Zaporizhia – Przemysl
- No. 121 Kherson – Kramatorsk
- No. 59 Kharkiv – Odesa
- No. 65/165 Kharkiv – Cherkasy, Uman
At the same time, a number of trains are forced to wait for the restoration of railway infrastructure, which leads to delays. This applies to the following flights:
- No. 76 Kryvyi Rih – Kyiv
- No. 102 Kramatorsk – Kherson
- No. 38 Kyiv – Zaporizhia
- No. 80 Lviv – Dnipro
- No. 120 Chelm – Dnipro
- No. 86 Lviv – Zaporizhia
- No. 54 Odesa – Dnipro
- No. 254 Odesa – Kryvyi Rih
- No. 8 Odesa – Kharkiv
Ukrzaliznytsia urges passengers to monitor current information about train movements on their official website to stay informed of possible changes and delays.
