Railway workers in occupied Ukraine go months without pay - NRC
Russian forces are delaying payments to railway workers, leading to increasing wage arrears, the National Resistance Center (NRC) reported on Nov. 11.
The Russian troops, having saized Ukrainian rail infrastructure, have not paid salaries to railway staff who remained in these regions for several months, NRC wrote.
This delay resulted in personnel shortages for the occupation railway operator.
Despite Russian propaganda claims about the restoration of passenger rail services, the railway system is used exclusively for military purposes. The invaders have also repurposed rail depots into repair bases for military equipment.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
