Due to damage to the railway infrastructure as a result of Russian shelling and the need to carry out evacuation measures, a number of Ukrzaliznytsia trains are moving with significant delays, the largest of which were recorded on the routes Odessa-Dnepr, Odessa-Kharkov, Zaporozhye-Solotvyno and Kyiv-Sumy. To restore the schedule, railway workers repair damage, attract auxiliary locomotives, adjust routes and work in enhanced mode to deliver passengers to their destinations as quickly as possible.

This was reported by the company's press service. It is noted that railway communication between the regions of the country has been preserved, and all key routes continue to operate. Despite the difficult situation, railway workers ensure the uninterrupted movement of long-distance trains. In particular, flights to Dnepr, Kharkov, Lvov, Odessa, Uzhgorod, Sumy and other cities of Ukraine continue to operate without cancellations.

As of the morning of June 15, the greatest deviation from the schedule is observed in several important directions. The leader in terms of delay was train No. 53/54 on the Odessa-Dnepr route, which is almost four hours behind schedule. Flights also experience significant delays:.

In addition, trains between Kiev and Warsaw, Kiev and Przemysl, Dnieper and Lvov, Kharkov and Chelm, as well as a number of other domestic and international flights are moving with delays.

The main reason for the delay behind schedule remains the impact of hostilities and damage to the railway infrastructure. In some cases, additional factors were delays at the state border when passing through international routes. Some flights are delayed due to technical reasons or due to delays of return trains, when the train that is supposed to carry out the next flight arrives at the station late. Experts note that forecasts for arrival and departure times remain approximate.. Due to rapid changes in the situation on routes, the actual delay time may either increase or decrease.

To minimize the consequences of damage, railway workers carry out restoration work around the clock. If necessary, auxiliary locomotives are sent to routes, traffic patterns are reviewed and routes are adjusted to deliver passengers to their destinations as quickly as possible.

Particular attention is paid to passenger safety. That is why, in some cases, trains make additional stops to evacuate people or wait for permission to continue moving after checking the condition of the tracks. Due to the dynamic situation, passengers are advised to regularly check the latest status of their flight before departure.. It is also important to pay attention to announcements at train stations and messages from conductors during the trip..
