As of March 2, 15 thousand people are hiding from the war at the Kiev metro stations, said the representative of the Kiev metro Natalia Makogon, citing the head of the enterprise Viktor Braginsky.

“The subway has been operating as a transport and as a shelter since the first day of the war. The stations have water, sanitary facilities, food is supplied and, if possible, medicines.

Many people have nowhere to go back. A few meters on the floor and a blanket became their only home. These are thousands and thousands of people,” Braginsky said..

The head of the enterprise urged people to take warm clothes, food and support those who are nearby, especially women with small children and the elderly.

In total, the metro can accommodate up to 100,000 people..

Recall, on February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the start of a “special military operation” for the “demilitarization” and “denazification” of Ukraine, its “cleansing from the Nazis”.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation claims that it is delivering pinpoint strikes on military targets, but in fact Russia has unleashed a full-scale war in Ukraine, for the sixth day people have been forced to hide in bomb shelters, Russian shells are flying through the windows of residential buildings, hundreds of civilians have died, including small children.

The Ukrainian army adequately rebuffs the enemy: hundreds of units of military equipment of the Russian Federation have already been destroyed on our soil, more than 5,000 Russian soldiers have died, more than 200 have been taken prisoner.
