For the first time in more than eight months, a train from Kiev has entered the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson, which had only recently been liberated from Russian occupiers. A total of 200 passengers had obtained tickets with the motto “To Victory”, Ukrainian media reported. The seven carriages were brightly painted by artists as part of the “Train to Victory” project.
Hundreds of spectators with Ukrainian national flags and loud cheers greeted the arrival of the special train at the station on Saturday.
Immediately after the outbreak of war, the connection was broken
Immediately after the outbreak of war on February 24, the rail connection between the capital Kiev and Kherson was broken due to the invasion of Russian soldiers. The Dnipro region was only recently liberated after the Ukrainian army forced the Russian occupiers to retreat across the river.
Trains in Ukraine are slow, but largely punctual and reliable despite the war. The functioning railway is one of the forces that holds the attacked country together.
