From Monday, May 22, new traffic rules are introduced in the capital during air alerts. Relevant decisions were made today by the Defense Council of the city of Kyiv.

We are talking about freight transport with a total mass of more than 4.5 tons and public passenger transport..

So, the arrival of large vehicles in Kyiv during the air raid will be prohibited.

The control of stopping trucks at the entrances to the city will be provided by the Northern Kiev Territorial Directorate of the National Guard together with the departments of the patrol police of Kyiv and the region.

Also, the Kyiv Defense Council made a decision, according to which, from May 22, the ground public transport of the capital, in the event of an air alert, will take passengers to the nearest shelter..

" The transport driver will make an announcement about the nearest shelter. It can be an underground metro station, an underpass, a shelter in houses, etc.. "

Control over public transport stops near the nearest shelter will be provided by the Patrol Police Department in Kyiv.

Recall that on August 1, 2022, the Defense Council of the city of Kiev decided that ground public transport would stop for the duration of the air raid so that passengers left the cabin and went to the nearest shelter.

This decision has been repeatedly criticized.. However, this had no effect on the government's decision..
