The media reported on the destruction of the Lithuanian railway network

Lithuania's railway infrastructure was almost completely destroyed after two accidents in a row. This was reported on May 3 by the newspaper Kauno diena with reference to the Solidarumas railway workers' union.

"We can say that the railway is now completely destroyed, and the situation will only worsen in the future. Serious investments should have been made earlier — nothing can be done in a week, rails and roads need to be maintained for years," the publication quotes Stanislav Federavicius, chairman of the trade union.

He also pointed to a serious shortage of personnel in the industry. According to him, due to the lack of employees, people are forced to work 24 hours instead of the prescribed 12.
