How Ukraine protects trains and trucks from Russian FPV drones

Attacks by Russian drones on transport are forcing Ukraine to change safety rules even for passengers. Ukrainian Railways (Ukrzaliznytsia) has already introduced evacuation procedures directly during train movement. Not only is transport coming under attack, but the entire logistics system, from military transport to grain exports.

Attacks on logistics have economic consequences

Senior economist at Center for Economic Strategy, Nataliia Kolesnichenko notes that attacks on logistics wheels (transport system) cause direct losses in freight transport: according to the State Statistics Service, in January–February 2026, volumes of freight transport decreased by 6.4 percent compared to the same period last year. This, in turn, limits the revenues of carriers.

She also points to exports:

“National Bank estimated losses in export revenues in the first quarter of 2026 at about 1 billion dollarsprecisely due to intensified attacks on port, energy, and industrial infrastructure.”

Logistics risks also affect production: potential disruptions in the transportation of goods may force enterprises to limit the use of production capacity in order not to accumulate finished products in warehouses.

At the same time, business is partially adapting and has significant successful experience of quickly redirecting transport flows – from Black Sea ports to Danube ports and to the western border, and from railway transport to road transport, the expert adds.
