A Ukrainian locomotive damaged in a Russian drone attack at Yahodyn railway station near Ukraine’s border with Poland
Times of Israel – Sept 14, 2026
A Russian drone struck a train near the Ukraine- Poland border on Sunday shortly after senior visiting officials — including the former prime ministers of the UK and Sweden — passed through, Ukraine’s state rail operator said.
According to Ukrzaliznytsia, a diplomatic train carrying Boris Johnson, Carl Bildt and security advisers from several European Union states had purposely left the station at Yahodyn ahead of schedule. The visitors were on their way back from a security conference in Kyiv.
“It is highly probable that the Russian drone’s intended target was in fact the diplomatic train, which had departed the station earlier than scheduled,” the company said in a Telegram post.
Bildt, the former Swedish PM, shared a video on X of the attack at Yahodyn station, near the Yahodyn-Dorohusk border crossing with Poland.
“This wasn’t our train, but the one just minutes after us by the Polish border crossing,” Bildt said. “It was evacuated as the Russian drone approached and no one was hurt. Very good safety system. Our train just had an evacuation warning.”
Bildt, Johnson and fellow passengers had been in Kyiv for the Yalta European Strategy conference, an annual gathering of leaders and experts across politics, business, security and media.

Another train, with former CIA Director David Petraeus on board, was still at the station when the drone struck, according to Ukrzaliznytsia.
There were no immediate reports of casualties on any of the trains.
Ukrzaliznytsia said it “constantly adjusts train schedules” to guard against strikes.
“I don’t know what warped logic drove Putin to blow up a stationary Ukrainian locomotive on the Polish border this morning,” Johnson wrote in a post on X.
“What we can say for sure is that this is the kind of random and senseless attack Ukrainians are enduring every day — even on civilian railways,” he added.

Earlier on Sunday, a Russian drone hit a truck less than a mile from Polish territory, according to border guards, forcing the temporary closure of the Yahodyn-Dorohusk crossing.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said it had targeted infrastructure facilitating military cargoes from Europe in Western Ukraine.
With the front line largely static, both Russia and Ukraine have intensified long-distance strikes in recent weeks to try to shift momentum in the war.
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski described Russia’s increasing attacks on NATO’s doorstep as “an escalation.”
Russia has begun targeting Ukraine’s border crossings with its Western allies in recent weeks, part of a growing campaign by both sides to erode the other’s economic infrastructure more than four years into Russia’s invasion.
Johnstein dropping off more of the white stuff? I wonder how many rent boys he brought back this time. These creeps are so gutless that they won’t fly. Instead they take a train. They’d never go near such a thing otherwise.
And then there’s this: The story goes that you “vote” them in, they shit on you, then you “vote” them out. Yet here you are, years later, and the snivelling shit is still doing his thing in your name. Just like blair, roland rat, obama in america, and all the rest.
If they wanted to kill them Russia would have used accurate missiles to do so, not drones which can so easily fail yet still point the blame. The inherent weakness in false flags is that so often they do not inflict enough damage to have been a real enemy action. They only work well enough to hide the culprit when the damage is so extensive like 9/11 people refuse to believe it was self-inflicted.
Under what capacity was Boris Johnson in Ukraine? He is no longer an MP or part of the present UK Government. Who is he working for?
Ooooops !
“purposely left the station” as in pre-arranged on PURPOSE left the station.
🙂 🙂 🙂
Not pre-planned or anything then, & made to look like a genuine event.
I don’t care anyway, A TWAT giving away some of my tax contributions to maintain a conflict I have no say in. But HAVE TO contribute or else… grrrrrrrr.
A shame the whole thing didn’t transpire.
The only rightful place on the train for toxic colostomy bags like Boreass Johnstein, David Pisstraeus, Carl Bildt, and the rest of that insane clown posse would be to chain them behind the train and drag them down the tracks.
Then there was talking shit rag Radoslaw Sikorski letting off more noxious fumes…that dumb-f*ck deserves to have his tongue cut out and stuffed up his own ass…certainly goes for Johnstein as well.
Pity they didnt get the fat fkin fck! 😩
Better luck next time!😉
its a pity bad-boris was not hit
dirty jew bastard
JOHNSON GO TO ISRAHELL !
Better luck next time.
take the pumpkin-faced Bleachboy back to Mutha Russia Vlad…
