They’re attacking the railways

This winter Russia is targeting Ukrainian railcars – a vital transport in a country without air travel. Meet Oleh, who handles Russia’s strikes on trains, repairing them and preparing departures.

Little Oleh steps into the train driver’s cab — hundreds of buttons and levers surround him, each serving a vital function. His father, with steady and confident movements, guides the #train forward. For Oleh, these were moments of pride and awe.

“Not every child can say, ‘I was in the driver’s cab and saw how everything works,’” Oleh said.

His father used to take him on trips to #Mariupol, where they would go to the sea together after his shift.

Today, about 50 years later, #Mariupol is occupied, and the driver’s cab no longer means magic for Oleh, but responsibility for hundreds of lives behind his back and the rescue of civilians from #Russian missiles.

This harsh winter, #Russia has struck not only energy infrastructure, but also transportation sites. The Russians are targeting the #railways because they remain critical for moving across the country and abroad.
