Strategypage article about Russian logistics and its problems. The sanctions that Russia has is causing problems, as they can't import ball bearing joints for the railcars that Russia makes. So, they have less ability to transport by rail now. Trucks and Naval shipping are still OK at the moment though. The other point that the article makes is that Ukraine is wanting to change from the Russian format rail (basically width lol) to the European one which will discourage future invasion and help Ukraine transport goods without having to reload the goods onto different cars which creates a unnecessary hassle.
