MOSCOW, October 25. /TASS/. From January 2025 through September 2026, Ukraine lost about 500 locomotives, about 14% of its total, according to TASS calculations based on the Ukrainian government’s information.
The majority of the losses, around 300, occurred in 2026. Since February 2022, Ukraine has lost approximately 600 locomotives, roughly 17% of its total.
As of February 2022, Ukraine had nearly 3,500 locomotives of various types and ages, including electric and diesel, making it difficult to estimate the cost of the losses. However, replacing the lost units with new ones will cost Kiev at least two billion dollars.
