Ukraine alleges Russia damaged over 200 railway locomotives

Russia is targeting Ukrainian railway ​locomotives and has destroyed ‌or damaged more than 200 since the start ​of 2026 alone, ​Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister ⁠for Restoration Oleksiy Kuleba ​said.

Russia has attacked ​Ukrainian railway facilities more than 1,000 times so far this ​year, officials say.

Two ​locomotives were damaged during an ‌attack ⁠on Friday evening in the eastern Dnipropetrovsk region, Kuleba said.

The volume ​of ​repair ⁠work is increasing steadily and requires ​significant financial resources, ​he ⁠said.

Ukrainian state railways operator Ukrzaliznytsia handles more ⁠than ​90% of ​Ukraine's export shipments.
