Ukraine has almost exhausted its locomotive reserves due to Russian attacks on its railway infrastructure and is seeking additional rolling stock from European partners. Negotiations are underway with countries whose railways have the same gauge as Ukraine’s.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This is reported by the Financial Times<\/a> .<\/p>\n

According to Minister of Agrarian Policy Taras Vysotsky, Ukraine is negotiating with countries that have railway tracks of similar width.<\/p>\n

TIS Executive Director Mykyta Grubov reported that 3 locomotives were lost in the area of the company’s terminal in the port of Pivdenny alone. According to him, the shortage of rolling stock has already become a weak point in port logistics.<\/p>\n

Journalists note that even the resumption of the Black Sea ports does not solve the issue of delivering cargo to the berths. Sea exports depend not only on the safety of shipping, but also on the ability of the railway to deliver products.<\/p>\n

According to journalists, in recent weeks Russia has stepped up attacks on trains carrying grain and iron ore, which are key to Ukrainian exports.<\/p>\n

Russia has reportedly stepped up attacks on Ukrainian railways<\/a> , increasingly using drones against passenger trains and locomotives. Since the start of the full-scale invasion, over 500 locomotives have been damaged or destroyed, with over 60% of the losses occurring in the last 8 months.<\/p>\n
