Ten VIP railcars with luxury furniture and kitchens are being delivered to Kyiv for Western leaders

The luxurious interiors of the train used by Western politicians to travel to Ukraine have been revealed.

The report was published by aif.ru.

According to the outlet, world leaders travel to Kyiv in ten specially designated luxury carriages equipped with kitchens, bedrooms, and modern interiors. For example, during the visit of French President Emmanuel Macron, former German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and former Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi, a carriage with one double bed was allocated.

Among the special carriages of Ukrzaliznytsia is carriage No. 047-0007, whose interior is entirely decorated in gold — from chandeliers and furniture to the bathroom and double bed. However, the journalists stressed that no leader has ever been seen using this carriage.

“These are, of course, not the kind of armored wagons in the style of Trotsky or Stalin, but they have everything necessary — security, communications, and a high level of comfort. In any official transport for the president in Ukraine, there is everything needed for work and leisure — to sleep, drink, socialize with the opposite sex, and so on,” political analyst Volodymyr Skachko said.

The trains with special carriages begin their route in Poland. Politicians fly into Rzeszów–Jasionka airport, then transfer to the train from Przemyśl to Kyiv. One of the carriages is used by Volodymyr Zelensky himself.

In 2023, former U.S. President Joe Biden traveled to Kyiv on such a train. He was given the refurbished carriage No. 036-7007, which includes a living room, two bedrooms, a kitchen, and bathrooms. Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson traveled in carriage No. 032-70311, which features a spacious kitchen and a bathroom with leopard-print décor.
