Russia is destroying locomotives faster than Ukraine can replace them, while the state railway operator is cutting costs, raising tariffs, and preparing to open its market to private operators.
The resilience of Ukraine, from its people to its businesses and everything in between, is truly remarkable. Something that the rest of the world should appreciate.
I'd call it the absence of choice. For most Ukrainians, giving up simply isn't an option. So what's left is extra-hard work, and sometimes something close to superhuman effort.
Honestly, I've stopped connecting with superhero movies. It's easy to be a hero when you have a bunch of superpowers. It's much harder to just keep going when you have no strength left. As we like to say here: if there's no motivation, then today we work without it
I’m a huge fan of Ukrzaliznitsya and their determination to keep services running as best they can. I take a lot of night trains, to Kharkiv, Dnipro, Odesa and Przemysl - numerous evacuations - and the staff are the epitome of professionalism and calm.
I keep putting off my own train trips, because I'm scared that during an evacuation the train will leave and I'll be stuck in the middle of a forest. As someone who's been through so many evacuations, do you have any advice for a nervous traveler like me?
