Quote: "It is important that essential logistics are being maintained everywhere. This week as well, the Russian army has been striking the railway almost every day. Today, there was a targeted strike in the Chernihiv region against a train that was scheduled to carry passengers that very day.

In the days prior, there were strikes on railway infrastructure in the Kharkiv and Dnipro regions. I want to thank everyone who is protecting Ukraine's railway and ensuring the continuous, uninterrupted operation of our Ukrzaliznytsia [Ukrainian Railways – ed.]. "

Details: Zelenskyy also stressed the need for assistance from Ukraine's partners, particularly with air defence missiles.

"Missiles for air defence are needed every single day. Protection against Russian ballistic attacks is needed every single day. Today, ballistic missiles again struck the Kyiv region. No country in the world should be left alone and without assistance under such strikes and in such a war," he said.

Background: Ukrainian Railways reported earlier that Russian forces attacked railway infrastructure in Chernihiv Oblast on the night of 7-8 February.
