Zelenskyy warns of'logistics terror' as Russia hits Ukraine railway President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he has ordered Ukraine's military leaders to respond after a spate of Russian attacks targeting railway infrastructure and logistics routes. His comments on Monday come after Russian forces stepped up attacks, including on a train last week that killed five people in a railway car in the eastern region of Kharkiv. Russian forces have prioritised the capture of train hubs, such as Kupiansk and Pokrovsk in eastern Ukraine. "The Russian army remains focused on terror against our logistics - primarily railway infrastructure," Zelenskyy said in a post on social media. "In particular there were strikes in the Dnipro region and in Zaporizhzhia, specifically targeting railway facilities."
