Currently, a number of ports do not receive trains, they are scattered throughout the network, they will go when they are ready,” he added.
Earlier, Ukrzaliznytsia reported that as a result of Russian shelling, the railway infrastructure in the Sumy direction was damaged, which is why a number of trains are running with delays.

The Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported that the Russian military attacked Ukraine on the night of October 20 with three Iskander-M/KN-23 ballistic missiles and 60 attack UAVs, about 40 of which were Shahedi. Air defense forces neutralized 38 UAVs of the Shahed, “Gerber” and other types of drones, however, three ballistic missiles and 20 strike UAVs were hit at 12 locations, the military noted.
The Russian military regularly attacks Ukrainian regions with various types of weapons – attack UAVs, rockets, anti-aircraft missiles, and anti-aircraft missiles.
The leadership of Russia denies that the Russian army during a full-scale war inflicts targeted strikes on the civilian infrastructure of the cities and villages of Ukraine, killing the civilian population and destroying hospitals, schools, kindergartens, energy and water supply facilities.
The Ukrainian authorities and international organizations qualify these strikes as war crimes of the Russian Federation and emphasize that they are purposeful in nature.
