Two years into the war, the global rail sector has stood with Ukraine since Day One and remains committed until the Russian aggression is beaten.

To coincide with this anniversary, a new article has been published by the Global Railway Review outlining the work of our Task Force.

Yesterday, the annual “Ukraine meets Europe” event was held at Café Kyiv in Berlin, Germany. This gathering, occurring just a few days before the second anniversary of Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine, served as a reminder of the enduring spirit of the Ukrainian people.

The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has far-reaching consequences, resulting in immense suffering for the citizens of Ukraine and destabilizing the region. However, amidst the turmoil, Ukraine's struggle for victory is not only a matter of territorial integrity but also a fight for democratic values, human rights, and the preservation of international order. This white paper will outline several compelling reasons why Ukraine should emerge triumphant in the war, emphasizing the importance of justice, self-determination, sovereignty, and the promotion of a peaceful and inclusive global community ruled by law.

The following is a chronological history of the obligations of the United States and key reasons why it is important to support Ukraine. This is over a year of research and first-hand knowledge on why it is important to support Ukraine.
I am reminded by one of our Task Force colleagues Peter Gibbons, Chief Security Officer of Network Rail in the United Kingdom: “This war is about Freedom. Either you are for it, or you are against it. It is that simple.”

This month, a Global Ukraine Rail Task Force delegation headed back to Kyiv to present the largest cheque so far – 130,000 euros - to the Trade Union of Ukraine Railway Workers, to purchase many more thousands of food packages that will be distributed to railway workers and their families at the frontline of the war.
