Quote: "Russian attacks on the capital are continuing, and the capital's railway infrastructure is also being targeted."

Details: Pertsovskyi said people should exercise extreme caution near railway facilities in the coming days.

He provided recommendations on what to do in the event of danger:

• At any level of air-raid warning, passengers must leave railway facilities and proceed to shelters. Even during a yellow-level alert, passengers may board and disembark only via the underground areas of Kyiv Central Railway Station. The same applies at Darnytsia station.
• Passengers who miss their train for security reasons need not worry. "We will refund 100% of the ticket price, and you can take the next train. Staying safe is a priority," Pertsovskyi said.

"The consequences of the attacks are being dealt with promptly, but we are also moving people to safety when there are renewed threats, so this is affecting the punctuality of train departures from Kyiv. Follow status updates online on all our platforms," the Ukrzaliznytsia chairman said.

Pertsovskyi also noted that, as of now, one railway worker in Kyiv had sustained shrapnel wounds in the Russian attacks while returning home after his shift.

"He is in hospital, with our people by his side. He is receiving all the necessary assistance," Pertsovskyi said.
