The Juvenile Police of Ukraine, in collaboration with Ukrzaliznytsia, is taking steps to prevent dangerous activities among teenagers — known as train surfing.

Seeking thrills, teenagers climb onto train roofs, grab onto moving trains, and cross tracks at prohibited areas.

This is not just extreme; it poses a real threat to their lives and health: fatal injuries, amputations, and electric shocks.

From April 10 to May 10, 2025, a joint preventive campaign by the Juvenile Police and Ukrzaliznytsia will be launched.
Throughout the month:

• we will visit schools and vocational institutions
•  
• we will communicate openly and accessibly with children
•  
• together with experts, we will explain why the railway is not a place for games!

 What to do if you witness dangerous behavior of children at the railway?

If you are at a station or terminal and see children who are:

• trying to climb onto a train
•  
• already on the roof
•  
• playing near the tracks

 Act immediately but carefully.

Notify the station attendant or any railway employee.

Call the police (102) or emergency services (101) — specialists will respond quickly.

Make a remark or call out to children planning to surf or already outside the passenger car.

Record the event and the individuals involved — this will help in identifying and informing the parents.

Be attentive to your children. Talk to them about the real risks!
