Understand the impact of the Ukraine conflict from a cross-sector perspective with the Global Data Executive Briefing: Ukraine Conflict


Ukrainian Railways has reported several casualties in an attack by three rockets on a railway station in eastern Ukraine, as per Reuters.

Buildings, tracks as well as rail stock were damaged due to the attack.

However, the state-owned operator did not reveal additional details on the location of the incident or the exact number of those affected.

Last month, Kyiv’s southern rail station in Ukraine was hit by a Russian airstrike, causing minor damage to the station building.

The wreckage from a downed Russian cruise missile led to the explosion, stated Ukraine’s Interior Ministry Adviser Anton Herashchenko.

Several players have suspended services to Russia recently in light of the country’s military attack on Ukraine.

Last month, Alstom halted future business investments and deliveries in Russia, while Hitachi suspended its business operations in the country.
