Preservation of personnel potential of Ukrainian railway transport enterprises during the war

Abstract

Railway transport plays a crucial role in the transport sector of Ukraine - in 2021, its share in the total volume of cargo transportation was 63.1%. After the large-scale invasion of the Russian Federation in Ukraine in February 2022, the importance of railway transport only increased. The main volumes of domestic exports are transported by rail, however, the supply of the main volumes of grain cargoes to port transshipment complexes is also mainly carried out by rail transport. This type of transport also provides cargo transportation for the needs of the Armed Forces, the majority of controlled evacuation flights (more than 5 million people were evacuated by rail), delivers humanitarian cargo, serves the needs of manufacturing enterprises and carries out their relocation, etc.
