Ukrzaliznytsia is installing more than 800 modular shelters across the country to strengthen protection for its employees. This decision was made in response to the increasing number of attacks by the aggressor state, the russian federation, on the country’s railway infrastructure. This is stated in a company announcement.
"Due to the increase in attacks on the railway, Ukrzaliznytsia is strengthening employee protection by deploying a network of mobile shelters across the country. They are manufactured in-house at the company’s facilities," the statement reads.
It is noted that these shelters are being installed first and foremost in the most dangerous locations: near critical facilities that ensure train operations, as well as at stations where there are no permanent shelters.

Ukrzaliznytsia reports that these shelters allow people to quickly take cover during an alert and protect them from debris during shelling.
"And this isn’t just theory—yesterday, such a shelter in the Kharkiv Region saved the life of a conductor who evacuated to it in time after receiving a danger alert. The train car was completely destroyed by an enemy drone," Ukrzaliznytsia added.
The company noted that since the beginning of the year alone, approximately 983 attacks on railway infrastructure have been recorded.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, the official Ukrzaliznytsia account rudely responded to a user who complained about a train delay in russian.
