Ukrzaliznytsia is strengthening staff protection with network of modular shelters

6 May , 2026  

Ukrzaliznytsia JSC is deploying over 800 modular shelters across the country to enhance employee protection in light of the increasing number of attacks on railway infrastructure, according to a company statement released on Wednesday.

“These shelters allow people to take cover quickly during an alert and protect against debris during shelling. And this isn’t just theory: yesterday (May 5 – IF-U), such a shelter in the Kharkiv region saved the life of a female conductor who evacuated in time after receiving a danger alert,” Ukrzaliznytsia reported on Telegram.

It is noted that these shelters will be installed in the most dangerous locations.

Ukrzaliznytsia emphasized that this initiative is part of the company’s resilience plan, which aims to ensure uninterrupted operations and protect people under difficult conditions.

Since the beginning of 2026, approximately 983 attacks on railway infrastructure have been recorded, Ukrzaliznytsia noted.

As reported, on May 5, the enemy attacked Ukrzaliznytsia infrastructure in the Kharkiv, Poltava, and Dnipropetrovsk regions.
