As of September 21, 2026, significant train delays are being reported across Ukraine due to Russian attacks. Over 50 trains, including both domestic and international services, are delayed by up to 17 hours.
Reasons for Train Delays
The delays are primarily caused by air raid alerts being issued in various regions of the country. Ukrainian Railways has reported extensive delays affecting both domestic and international routes. Key reasons include:
- Russian attacks on Ukrainian territory;
- the declaration of air raid alerts;
- the need to ensure the safety of passengers and staff.
Impact on Passengers
The train delays are causing significant inconvenience for travelers. Ukrainian Railways urges anyone planning to travel to check the train schedules before departure. With delays potentially reaching 17 hours, it is crucial to be prepared for changes in plans.
Situation in the Regions
In addition to train delays, reports indicate Russian military attacks on Ukrainian territory. For instance, in Chernihiv Oblast, a strike occurred on a local enterprise, resulting in a fire and damage to agricultural machinery. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries among people.
