“Not without difficulty, but the railroad continues to move. As of 9:00 a.m. 95 of our trains with all continue to move. Due to the de-energizing of much of the network, 81 of them have delays of more than an hour,” the company said in a message on its Telegram channel Thursday.

– #119 Zaporizhzhya-Lviv (about 11 hours);
– #3 Zaporizhzhya-Uzhgorod (over 10 hours).
“Technically the most difficult delays are Intercity+, whose heating depends on the power grid. We equip with thermal blankets, but still have to carry passengers comfortably and warmly, so today two routes – to Kramatorsk (712) and to Dnipro (732) – were picked up by long-distance trains with autonomous heating systems”, – stressed in “Ukrzaliznytsia”.
