Train conductors talk while standing near a train at the end of the shift on December 26, 2022 in Kyiv, Ukraine.Ukraine's rail network has kept people, humanitarian aid, and cargo moving through a year of war.Alexander Kamyshin, CEO of Ukrainian Railways, explained to Insider how the operation keeps going.Alexander Kamyshin will never forget the day he arrived in liberated Kherson, a war-torn city on the Dnieper River.
"Some people say that railways is the lifeline of Ukraine," Kamyshin said in a recent interview with Insider."That's why it's really important to bring back the connection to retaken cities." Keeping the trains moving comes with significant danger for the company though as Russian forces attack the rail network around the clock, causing destruction to everything from the tracks to stations.According to 2022 company data reviewed by Insider, Ukrainian Railways has helped evacuate millions of people from war-torn cities and transported thousands of civilians injured in Russia's assault.
"It's extremely challenging during the war to keep the economy running," Kamyshin said."And we are the main transport to bring grain and metals out of the country."
