In Chernihiv region, there are massive delays in suburban trains due to the lack of sufficient voltage in the power grid. This temporarily complicates the schedule and affects the time of arrival of passengers at their destination. This is reported by "Komersant Ukrainian" with reference to the Telegram “Ukrzaliznytsia: Suburban trains”.
According to Ukrzaliznytsia, delays currently range from 30 minutes to more than an hour.
Passengers are urged to closely monitor announcements at stations and in the company’s official channels, as the situation can change quickly.

Representatives of the railroad note that the time of delays may vary, as it depends on the stabilization of the voltage in the network.
