FM Sybiha Calls On Partners To Help Ukraine Procure Locomotives Amid Russian Attacks
The Ukrainian foreign minister emphasized that Russia is carrying out systematic attacks aimed at disrupting logistics; in particular, last night a locomotive was hit in Volyn, near the border with Poland, during a Russian strike.
In total, since the start of the full-scale invasion, more than 500 locomotives have been damaged or completely destroyed as a result of Russian attacks; more than half of them were lost this year alone, Sybiha emphasized.
He stressed that Ukrzaliznytsia ensures the country's vital functions and has become a key element of economic and social stability for Ukrainians.
