Ukraine’s rail lines keep supplying troops despite dozens of attacks each day

Ukraine’s railway workers, known across the country as the Iron People, continue to defy Russia’s campaign to paralyze the nation from within. Over recent months, Russia has launched thousands of drones and missiles at infrastructure targets, with Ukrainian railways among its primary objectives. These strikes were intended to sever logistics, isolate cities, and weaken both civilian life and military supply lines. Instead, Ukraine’s rail network has remained largely operational, adapting under fire and sustaining the country’s internal mobility. Trains continue to move troops, equipment, and civilians despite constant threats from the air. Far from collapsing, Ukraine’s rail system has become a symbol of endurance and organized resistance under sustained attack.
