Update on those Belarus Railroad Workers!

[Tomconroy]

There is currently no rail traffic from Belarus into Ukraine, and Russian forces are not using the railways between the two countries to bolster its invasion force in Ukraine, according to the head of the Ukrainian state railway.

“I recently appealed to Belarusian railway workers not to carry out criminal orders and not transport Russian military forces in the direction of Ukraine,” Oleksandr Kamyshin, director of the Ukrzaliznytsya state railroad, told Current Time.

“At the present moment, I can say that there is no railway connection between Ukraine and Belarus. I cannot discuss details, but I am grateful to Belarus’s railway workers for what they are doing,” he said.

Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, a significant portion of Russian military supplies have been brought into Ukraine via the Homel-Kyiv rail line, the Ukrainian government has said.

1. Brave move! I do wonder/worry

if any much needed supplies to the Ukranians in their country are being stopped in the process.

2. Ukranians are not being supplied from Belarus.

So no need to worry about that aspect.

6. They should disable RR lines from BR that are inside the Ukr borders and under Ukr control

And try to sabotage those not under Ukr control, NW and N of Kyiv, NE of Kharkiv.

8. Russians staging in their country were a real plague on Belarus a month ago,

and that surely left a bad impression on the locals.

Quite literally a plague, COVID was ripping through Russian military units in Belarus. This from February:

5. Since the war started, doesn't Ukraine get

most of its supplies mostly through Poland? I guess some could come from Belarus, but how strange is it for Ukraine to get both supplies and attacks from Belarus.

4. Russia uses a wider gauge track for their rail lines

That one line from Belarus is the only one that feeds into Ukraine.

7. Putin did not see this kind of opposition coming. More news:

For contest, there is an ongoing internal rebellion against the government in Belarus, ongoing since the rigged election installing Putin's autocratic puppet.
