Ukraine 'destroys key Russian train' as 'nothing left alive' in massive blow to Putin
The train, said to have been carrying Russian fuel and cars, was reportedly blown up and derailed following a Ukrainian military operation. A Russian train has been reportedly blown up and derailed by Ukrainian forces in a major attack which saw flames tear through the vehicle and thick black smoke rise into the sky. Following a Ukrainian military operation, an area between Tokmak and Urozhaine in the occupied Zaporizhzhia Oblast, Ukraine, has reportedly been hit. Petro Andryushchenko, former adviser to the mayor of Mariupol, claimed "nothing alive was left" as he announced the attack on Telegram. "Yes. It's burning down. The train. There is no more Russian rail service through occupied Zaporizhzhia," Andryushchenko wrote. "Nothing alive was left. Who asked why the Russians were hauling fuel and cars at night? That's why," he added. "To avoid such losses. It didn't work. A unique operation by the Defense Forces of Ukraine. Just great, believe me!" Images shared to Telegram show the extent of the damage caused, with a huge train covered in flames and dark smoke filling the sky, reports the Mirror. Ukraine or Russia are yet to make an official comment on the attack. It is not clear exactly how the blast happened, but the logistics train is said to have become derailed between Urozhayny and Tokmak in Ukraine's south. It comes after a number of successful operations by Ukraine deep behind enemy lines, most notably in June when more than 100 Ukrainian drones struck air bases deep inside Russia. According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the operation, dubbed Spider's Web, took more than 18 months to plan. This latest attack comes just a day after Russian missiles tore through Zaporizhzhya City, killing three people and leaving 20 injured. While Russian forces control major areas of Zaporizhzhya, Vladimir Putin has reportedly told Donald Trump he would consider freezing the frontline in both Zaporizhzhia and Kherson, in exchange for Ukraine withdrawing from Donetsk and Luhansk regions. The US President is now arranging to have Zelensky and Putin in the same room within the next two weeks to discuss the ongoing war in Ukraine, German chancellor Friedrich Merz said after talks at the White House on Monday.
