Two days after the massive attack of the Russian Federation, trains No. 773/774 Konotop - Zhmerynka (+17 hours 30 minutes), No. 23/24 Chelm - Kyiv (+8 hours 50 minutes), No. 143/144 Sumy - Rakhiv (+8 hours 40 minutes) and No. 65/66 Kyiv - Sumy (+8 hours) are the most lagging behind.. Amid new attacks on Ukraine, railways are forced to stop trains, change routes and evacuate passengers from dangerous areas, causing delays to accumulate on dozens of routes. Poland even raised air force the day before due to a Russian drone attack in western Ukraine, and warnings were sent to residents of border areas about the threat. Due to the security situation, trains are forced to move slower, wait for permission to continue, or use detour routes. As a result, delays accumulate in various directions. Dozens of flights are already several hours behind schedule, according to a traffic monitoring service.. The longest delay among these trains is 17 hours 30 minutes. We are talking about train No. 773/774 on the route Konotop-Passenger - Zhmerynka-Passenger. Other significant delays include:.

A number of flights were delayed by 2-4 hours. It is important that the situation on the railway changes literally throughout the day. This is why the delay time of a particular train may differ from what was recorded a few hours earlier..

The situation is especially difficult on routes passing through regions where railway infrastructure is regularly attacked. In particular, due to the intensification of attacks in the Sumy region, Ukrzaliznytsia temporarily limited train traffic to Konotop station. Bus transfers are organized for passengers between Sumy and Konotop, that is, the message is actually transferred to a combined “train + bus” scheme..

Railroad officials warn that the security situation can change daily, so passengers should be prepared for route changes, additional transfers or long waits.. Volyn has also already made operational changes to the movement of commuter trains.

Some flights were canceled, and some were reduced to separate stations due to the security situation.

Russian troops have been regularly attacking railway infrastructure and rolling stock in recent months.. According to media reports, from the beginning of July to September 9 alone, at least 14 attacks on trains were recorded - four in July, six in August and four more in early September. During peak periods of attacks, dozens of flights could be moving at the same time with delays.
