The initiative writes after their visit to the Trade Union of Railway Workers:
“In the face of adversity, Ukraine’s railway showcases remarkable resilience and ambition. Despite the ongoing conflict, they not only maintain critical transport links but also eye future growth and modernisation. This effort is supported by the Global Ukraine Rail Task Force (GURTF), as reported by CNN, highlighting the international community’s role in bolstering Ukraine’s infrastructural resilience.”
“This month marks a significant milestone for the Global Ukraine Rail Task Force (GURTF) as we returned to Kyiv with our largest contribution yet. It was an honor to present a cheque for €130,000 (equals £ 160,485) to the Trade Union of Ukraine Railway Workers, to purchase many more thousands of food packages, directly supporting railway workers and their families who are bravely facing the frontline of the war.”
