Already happening What happens if… A possibility worth considering, not a forecast.

Russian strikes may force Vadym Filashkin to suspend public transport in Donetsk region. The Russian strikes, which targeted public transport in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk, resulted in at least 30 fatalities and 18 injuries. This attack, which also damaged a residential building, led to a sharp deterioration in the security situation in the Donetsk region. In response, Vadym Filashkin, head of the Donetsk regional military administration, ordered the suspension of public transportation services in both Kramatorsk and Sloviansk, stating that the safety of passengers and drivers could no longer be guaranteed.
