Russia Constructs Massive 'Tsar Train' Defensive Line in Eastern Ukraine

The nearly 20-mile long barrier, made from over 2,000 railcars, is designed to thwart Ukrainian counterattacks.

Russian forces have built a nearly 20-mile long defensive line in eastern Ukraine, using over 2,000 old train carriages.
Dubbed the 'tsar train,' the barrier stretches between Olenivka and Volnovakha in the Donetsk region, close to the front lines.
The construction began in July 2023, shortly after Ukraine launched a counter-offensive.
The 'tsar train' is considered a formidable obstacle, difficult to damage or bypass, and could significantly impact the movement of Ukrainian forces.
Ukraine's advances in the region have stalled, with Russian forces making inroads and capturing key territories.
