Pro-Ukraine partisans sabotage railway in Russia-occupied Donetsk Oblast, group claims
The Atesh partisan group sabotaged a railway in occupied Donetsk Oblast, disrupting Russian logistics, the group claimed in a Telegram post on June 1. Operatives with the group destroyed a relay box on the new Volnovakha-Mariupol railway, which was recently built by occupying Russian forces. As a result, the railway signalling and traffic control system was disrupted, Atesh said. The impacted railway has been reportedly used by Russian forces to deliver fuel, equipment, and ammunition directly to the frontline. The Volnovakha-Mariupol railway connects occupied Donetsk oblast to Taganrog, a city in southwestern Russia, allowing Moscow's military forces to bypass Crimea and transfer cargo faster and with fewer risks, according to Atesh. Atesh further claimed that damaging infrastructure in this direction is key to disrupting supply lines and increasing the vulnerability of occupying Russian forces. "We continue to hit the enemy's critical points. Each hit reduces their combat effectiveness," Atesh wrote. The Kyiv Independent could not verify these claims. The Atesh movement regularly commits sabotage attacks on Russian territory and in Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine. Partisans reported a similar railroad in Russia's Smolensk Oblast in May.

CPKC receives arbitration decision establishing new TCRC collective agreements
CALGARY , AB , May 30, 2025 /CNW/ - Canadian Pacific Kansas City (TSX: CP) (NYSE: CP) (CPKC) today said it has received an arbitrator's ruling establishing new collective bargaining agreements with the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference (TCRC) – Train and Engine (T&E) division and the TCRC - Rail Canada Traffic Controllers (RCTC) division. Arbitrator William Kaplan issued his ruling after the completion of multiple rounds of mediation and ultimately the conclusion of the interest arbitration process. The arbitrator's ruling establishes terms of new four-year contracts with both TCRC bargaining units. TCRC – T&E represents approximately 3,200 locomotive engineers, conductors, train and yard workers across Canada . TCRC – RCTC represents approximately 80 rail traffic controllers in Canada . The new collective agreements with the TCRC divisions, effective from January 1, 2024 , through December 31, 2027 , include annual wage increases of 3%. The provisions outlined in the arbitrator's award do not require ratification. The establishment of these multi-year collective agreements involving train crews and rail traffic controllers come after the ratification earlier this year of three new collective agreements reached at the bargaining table between CPKC and unions representing thousands of mechanical, engineering, clerical and intermodal employees in Canada . Together, these agreements bring labour stability to CPKC operations in Canada , allowing efficient and dependable rail service to continue uninterrupted for years to come.
