The main reason for the restrictions is the security situation in the region, linked to shelling and the threat of new attacks.
Ukrzaliznytsia urged passengers to take these changes into account when planning their trips and to check the current schedule.
What led to the changes
As a reminder, Russian troops previously attacked civilian infrastructure and railway logistics facilities. Specifically, on March 14, a drone struck a passenger train on the Smorodine–Vorozhba route, damaging the locomotive.
