  "account": "A Ukrainian transport scheme, UZ will get you there, has facilitated nearly 10,000 passengers utilizing rail-bus transfers on frontline routes in the Sumy and Kharkiv regions since its inception in October, according to Minister for Restoration, Infrastructure and Transport Mykola Kalashnyk. The programme, which provides transfers between trains and buses, was inaugurated on October 1 and has been deemed highly pertinent by Kalashnyk during a parliamentary session. Currently, two routes - Konotop-Sumy and Kharkiv-Lozova - are operational under this initiative. Separately, Kalashnyk reported that 630 locomotives have been damaged in Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion started, with approximately 400 of these damage incidents occurring this year. He further disclosed that Russian attacks on Ukrainian railway infrastructure have intensified, with 15 strikes on rolling stock operated by Ukrainian Railways recorded during the month of November. Earlier in the parliamentary question time, the ministry announced an agreement with French partners to deliver 30 large buses to bolster logistics under the UZ will get you there scheme.",
