Ukraine’s railway workers have been indispensable since the start of the Russian invasion, helping millions of refugees evacuate. They have also made a huge impact on the battlefield.
But the railway system has also made a huge impact on the battlefield, and in different ways, Krings said.Railway workers load coal onto an evacuation train. The coal is used to heat the train’s carriages. The trains themselves run on diesel fuel.
A day after the village of Mylove was liberated, flowers were left at a checkpoint for Ukrainian servicemen. “They see us as some kind of, you know, rescuers. Some kind of protection,” she said. “They come in, and in the next 15-20 minutes we start talking to them. They begin to realize that they are somehow escaping from there, and they have food here, have water.
These workers have witnessed a lot of trauma over the past year, and Krings said it is not always easy to capture the psychological impact. But it is definitely there — stories about bombings, stories about death.Tetiana Vysloguzova, the head of a train that travels from Pokrovsk to Lviv, recalled how a young boy told her about a friend who was killed by shelling.
A dead body lies on a platform as an evacuation train departs for Lviv. A woman had come off a train, become unwell and died on the platform after medical workers performed CPR, Krings said.
