That Russian propagandist wasn’t wrong: targeting rail lines and hubs is one of the smartest moves Ukraine can make—Russia’s entire military logistics depend on rail.
Their army isn’t built for mobility. It’s an industrial-age force: tons of artillery, heavy equipment, masses of conscripts—and it all has to travel by train. Disrupt the rail network, and you strangle their ability to move troops and supplies to the front.
Why's that a desaster?
Troops need a place to dismebark and assemble, but now they can’t reach the front in an orderly fashion.
Destroy hubs 50–200 km out, and they’re forced to unload further back. That means longer convoys, more trucks (which they lack), more fuel, and more exposure to drones and artillery.
Eventually, the only hubs left are cities.
When key junctions are gone, logistics collapse into urban centers—Kursk, Belgorod, maybe even Rostov. Thousands of frustrated, under-supplied troops will be stuck in warehouses and train stations.
And that’s a political powder keg.
Historically (see 1917), armed, demoralized soldiers bottlenecked in cities under stress is a recipe for unrest. Morale drops, corruption spreads, and the line between military discipline and chaos starts to blur.
Same thing happend in 2023 with Wagner starting from the only large railwayhub they had left: Rostov on Don.
When your war machine runs on rails and the rails are gone, the whole system backs up—right into your own cities. At that point, you’re not just losing the war. You’re risking collapse.
