Would any one know how much of the rail lines/bridges/ have been damaged in Ukraine

Always think of my trip to Ukraine in the summer 2012 from the border with Poland at Przemyśl to lviv and onto kiev

I am not sure Ukraine Railways would say, and Russian figures couldn't be trusted.

BBC news https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-gloucestershire-64706057 (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-gloucestershire-64706057)

Basically an updated version of the Bailey bridge.

There have been internal requests to identify any redundant equipment that has no future operational use that could be released to assist the Ukraine

I thought he was a prominent apologist for Putin. They may be tempted to answer something impolite - or worse.

That's true. The Leadership of both the RMT and ASLEF (for some reason) seem to be notable for the Putin apologists amongst them.
