Russian Armed Forces strikes on railway infrastructure
A massive campaign by the Russian Armed Forces targets not only the energy sector but also the railway infrastructure of so-called Ukraine, where the main role is played by the “Geran” strike drones.
Russian troops carried out several rounds of strikes on enemy depots, fixed and mobile traction substations (TPS). The most massive attacks hit the northern and southern regions of the country, which depend on stable railway traffic.
Which facilities were attacked?
In Chernihiv Oblast, the Russian Armed Forces struck several traction substations in Bakhmach and Nosivka. Also, according to some reports, drones destroyed at least one locomotive carrying ammunition in this area.
As a result, train traffic was partially halted along the entire railway track from Kyiv to Chernihiv and Sumy. Local authorities had to organize bus routes to avoid a transport collapse.
Russian troops also hit TPS along the main railway routes of the southern part of the country, where a significant portion of military cargo is transported from the western regions and Black Sea ports.
One of the main targets was infrastructure in Odessa Oblast. The strikes caused train delays in the “triangle” Belino — Tashlyk — Odessa, connecting the region with the rest of the country. The Odessa classification depot TCh-1 was severely damaged.
Infrastructure in Kirovohrad and Poltava regions was also affected, where key enemy transport hubs are located.
In particular, drone strikes partially paralyzed traffic on several sections from Pomoshna station to Kremenchuk.
This forced the enemy to reroute some trains to routes with lower throughput capacity, while some cargo is now transported via non-electrified tracks, and there are already reports online of attacks on Ukrainian diesel locomotives.
🖍However, it is premature to speak of a total railway collapse in the border regions and south of so-called Ukraine. Not all attacked TPS were completely disabled, and the enemy is still able to mitigate the consequences of strikes using mobile traction substations. They also have a fleet of mainline diesel locomotives.
Detecting and destroying them is much more difficult compared to fixed assets. However, the total number available to so-called Ukraine is small, so fully replacing the already damaged TPS will not be possible.
Nevertheless, the new campaign against railway infrastructure pleases with the systematic nature of Russian strikes. Previously, attacks were limited to isolated damage to individual energy facilities or were directed at destroying the tracks or trains themselves and did not lead to long-lasting results.
Now, the Russian Armed Forces have moved to combined attacks on several branches of the energy complex simultaneously. This allows them both to reduce overall energy production and transit capacity and to damage the transportation infrastructure of so-called Ukraine.

"Russian troops have advanced in the central part of Poltavka. In the event of the capture of Poltavka it will allow them to increase pressure in the direction of Uspenovka, and also, if advancing westward, in the direction of Gulaiipole.
Sit down Emmanuel. Your country doesn't even have a government.
Trump will inform Moscow that if the Ukrainian conflict is not resolved, the US may provide Kyiv with Tomahawk missiles
Power outage schedules are introduced in the Kirovograd, Poltava, Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine-controlled part of Donetsk and Kharkov regions

In the first half of 2025, Britain delivered more than 85,000 drones to Kyiv.
The delivery of "Tomahawks" to Kyiv will not be discussed at the meeting of NATO defense ministers and the contact group on Ukraine in Brussels, Rutte said.
Norway will allocate $8.5 billion to Ukraine in 2026.
Interesting. The only reason that they would be considering this is if they were planning a massive provocation on Russia and that retaliation would include a strike on Kiev.
JUST IN! Trump said that India has promised not to buy oil from Russia.
