After the night attack of the Russian Federation on Kyiv and the region, on August 20, Ukrzaliznytsia changed the routes of a number of commuter and regional trains, and canceled flights No. 6909, No. 6911 and No. 6910. Train No. 775/776 Sumy - Kyiv is the most late - by 12 hours 41 minutes, while a number of other flights are delayed by 6-8 hours due to hostilities.

The company's press service reported this. Passengers were warned that the situation may change throughout the day depending on the security situation.

Most of the changes affected suburban connections with Kyiv. In particular, on August 20, trains No. 6903 and No. 6905 should run on the changed route.

Instead of the full route Nizhyn - Kyiv, they will follow only to Bobrik station. In the opposite direction, trains No. 6902 and No. 6906 will also run between Bobryk and Nizhyn, and not between Kiev and Nizhyn.

Thus, passengers planning to use these flights to travel directly to the capital need to take into account operational changes and monitor the latest information from the carrier. The changes also affected regional trains.

Train No. 893 Konotop - Kyiv instead of the capital will go to Bobrik. In the opposite direction, flight No. 894 Kyiv - Nizhyn has also been shortened; it will run along the route Bobrik - Nizhyn. Some commuter trains will not operate the route at all on this day.. We are talking about:.

Traffic problems arose not only at the approaches to the capital. According to operational data, a significant number of long-distance trains are also moving with significant delays due to hostilities.

Train No. 775/776 Sumy - Kyiv-Pasazhyrsky is delayed the most - its delay is 12 hours 41 minutes. Several other flights have delays of six hours or more, including:.

Separately, it is worth paying attention to trains, which also have many hours of delays. For example, No. 79 Dnepr - Lviv and No. 119 Dnepr - Chelm are late by about 5 hours 45 minutes, and No. 41 Dnepr - Truskavets and No. 87 Dnepr - Kovel are more than 5 hours late. The delay of train No. 121/122 Kyiv - Nikolaev is more than 5 hours, while train No. 147/148 Zhitomir - Odessa is delayed by more than 4.5 hours.

Due to military risks, the exact arrival times of trains may change while they are moving.. Therefore, passengers with travel plans today should check the latest status of their flight before travel and be prepared for additional delays. Ukrzaliznytsia emphasizes that safety takes priority over compliance with the original schedule. In the event of an increased threat, train movement may be temporarily suspended, and passengers must follow the instructions of railway workers and go to shelter or a safe distance from the infrastructure.

Once the air raid warning is lifted, and provided that the security situation allows, traffic will resume..

However, due to damage to the infrastructure, the consequences of the attack may affect the schedule throughout the day..

Operational changes concern not only the Kyiv, Chernihiv and Sumy regions. Due to the security situation, commuter flights in the Dnepropetrovsk region were also delayed. In particular, train No. 6501 Pyatikhatki - Krivoy Rog departed from Pyatikhatki with a delay of 1 hour 8 minutes. Train No. 6008 Pyatikhatki - Dnepr also departed with a delay - about 43 minutes.
