Five railway stations have come under attack in central and western Ukraine, according to officials
There are reports of casualties after stations in Zhmerynka and Kozyatyn in central Ukraine were hit
So its decision to strike railways in the centre and west of Ukraine hours after the US secretary of state and defence secretary left Kyiv by train back to Poland is almost certainly designed to be another warning shot from Moscow.
Five stations were hit by missiles, including one in Krasne, near Lviv, where a facility handling the power supply to overhead lines was struck. There are reports of injuries. The railway lines are integral to Ukraine’s war effort, moving troops and military hardware in and out of Poland, which is Nato’s logistics hub.
Targeting the stations appears to be an attempt to degrade Kyiv’s military supply route.
But it’s also chilling for the refugees who continue to use train lines to escape the renewed Russian offensive in the Donbas. The station in the eastern city of Kramatorsk was hit earlier this month, killing dozens fleeing.
And now the railway infrastructure in the centre and west of the country has been hit, leaving this terrorised nation with few safe routes out.
