BOJO SHOCKED BY NEARBY TRAIN ATTACK
Russia ruthlessly carries out its de-transportation campaign of Ukraine and continues destroying locomotives. Over the past month Russia destroyed dozens of locomotives and complicates logistics.
They don’t even care about high-ranking Western politicians being nearby, nor proximity to the border. The attack was basically at the train station right on the Polish-Ukrainian border.
A Russian drone hit and destroyed a locomotive while a nearby train carried Boris Johnson, Chancellor Merz’s foreign and security policy adviser Sautter, several members of the German parliament, and more security advisers from the UK, France and Italy travelling back from an event in Kiev.
The key thing about trains in Ukraine is that they use the “Russian Gauge” track and the supply of locomotives is hence limited. The users of it are mostly former Soviet states and Finland.
If they keep destroying these locomotives we’ll see countries like Moldova, the Baltics and Finland donating their locomotives until they run out. Especially without air defence this process would be quick and would essentially leave these countries without a functioning rail system too.
Would be interesting to see Eastern Europe and Finland give away all their locomotives to support Ukraine to then wind up train-less, like we have it now with air-defense and artillery shells.



WAR ON GAS STATIONS - WHAT IS THE GOAL?
Russia for the first time struck gasstaions at the border crossing to Polish, after attacking gas stations in Kiev this week.
Parts of Eastern Ukraine have no gas stations left, specific regions are basically full without. If Russia carries on these strikes for couple of months in this intensity the transport situation would be very tense in Ukraine.
Then this winter, Russia could push Ukraine to the edge with no logistic warehouses left, food shortages, no gas stations, no rail traffic, no air traffic … and the electricity can be turned off with one huge missile strike at any time.
