KIEV, Feb. 1 – Movement of trains on the Shypilove-Svitlanove rail section of Donetsk railways has remained blocked since January 25 by unauthorized persons who damaged the track (one meter of the rail was cut). Loss from blocking the transportation process and damage of railway assets is estimated at UAH 2.3 million now," Ukrzaliznytsia reported.

"Almost 6,000 tons of cargo was transported using this section every day, including around 4,000 tons of coal. The current situation on the section makes it impossible to supply stream coal to Ukrainian power generating companies and causes damage to Ukrzaliznytsia," the press service said.
