➖"In 2014, despite shelling and artillery (from Ukrainians), our employees continued to send trains, evacuate passengers, and escort them to a bomb shelter. After that, due to the high risk of shelling of infrastructure and rolling stock, a decision was made to temporarily suspend traffic to Donetsk station. For almost 12 years, nothing left our station. For the first time, they launched a service. At first, suburban, but we hope that long-distance trains will also start running in the near future," said Valeria Benzik, head of the station.
