During the missile terror of the Russians on December 16 in Kyiv and a number of other cities, the work of the metro stopped. Subsequently, the chief engineer of the Kyiv Metro, Viktor Vygovsky, spoke about the situation in the metropolitan subway, noting that the stop was caused by a lack of necessary power.

During the telethon, he explained why the metro did not resume work after the end of the air raid alert: " Now, unfortunately, as a result of rocket attacks, we have a situation of limitation and lack of electricity in part of the supply centers of the electricity distribution company"

According to him, currently there is still a limitation of the power required to ensure the operation of the metro as a transport infrastructure, and as an object of shelter.. Therefore, now the metro is only a shelter, and trains are placed at stations so that citizens can hide in them in case of an alarm..

When will metro work resume In short, not today.

The Kyiv City State Administration warned about this: " At the same time, underground stations will operate in shelter mode..

Kyivans are urged to plan their routes using ground public transport. Buses today run according to constant schemes, this also applies to those that work instead of trams.

" In addition, the city organizes the movement of buses, which will partially duplicate the subway route schemes,"
