Ukraine says its railways have faced about 5,000 attacks since Feb 2022

Ukrainian Railways says its rail network has suffered about 5,000 enemy attacks since February 2022. Russian forces have increasingly targeted stations, bridges and cargo lines to degrade Ukraine's transport capacity. The strikes have disrupted civilian travel, grain exports and frontline logistics, adding economic damage and shortages. Sustained damage raises reconstruction costs and limits Ukraine's ability to move troops and supplies, making rail resilience a strategic priority for Western aid.
