Due to extensive damage to Ukraine's electricity networks by Russia, the country has shifted from electriꦡc to diesel trains, cau🐓sing longer travel times from the Polish border to Kyiv.
Luxury carriages, initially built for Crimea to🌟urists in 2014, have been repurposed to transport world leaders and VIPs amiꦍdst the conflict.
The train has been used before by world leaders like US President Joe Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron for their visits to Kyiv. U
🐼Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky also often uses the train for his international trips.
Before travelling to Ukraine,𝐆 Modi will pay a two-day visit to Poland on A🎶ugust 21 and 22.
