Zelensky Instructs Government To Introduce Free Public Transport Programme In Kyiv
"I held a coordination call. First, the Dnipro region. Restoration work continues following the strikes over the past 24 hours. Dnipro, Pavlohrad, Kamyanske, and other cities and communities in the region. At the peak of the outages, more than 600,000 customers were without power – people, businesses, and critical infrastructure. Power supply is gradually being restored," Zelensky said.
He thanked all repair crews and relevant services for their work.
The Head of State also heard reports on the situation in Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia and other frontline communities, with particular attention to the challenges facing Kyiv.
According to Zelensky, the Prime Minister, the Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council, and the Minister of Internal Affairs presented options for alternative transport arrangements for the capital.
"The necessary number of vehicles and the reorganization of traffic in designated parts of Kyiv are being worked out. It is important that the Government also prepare concrete measures to support the uninterrupted operation and guaranteed availability of urban surface public transportation in the event of disruptions to metro services or challenges with bridges across the Dnipro River. I instructed the Prime Minister to present a program for free travel on urban surface public transportation and a sufficient reserve of buses for Kyiv," Zelensky stressed.
