Restoration of movement in Kyiv Metro
Kyiv Metro has partially restored communication on the 'red' line across the Dnipro River, implementing a special movement mode due to power supply problems. Currently, trains are operating between the 'Akademmistechko' and 'Arsenalna' stations. The estimated waiting time for a train on this section is 20–25 minutes, and the movement interval is 4:40–5:00 minutes.
It should be noted that:
- trains pass without stops at 'Hydropark' and 'Dnipro' stations;
- movement on the section 'Livoberezhna' – 'Lisova' is suspended;
- train movement is halted on the open section between 'Dnipro' and 'Lisova' stations.
At the same time, train movement on the 'blue' and 'green' lines remains unchanged.

The situation in Kyiv remains complicated, as the emergency has led to loss of human life and significant material damage. The capital's authorities are taking measures to restore normal infrastructure operations; however, the challenges related to power supply require urgent resolution. In conditions of blackout and infrastructure damage, coordination of actions remains essential to ensure the safety of citizens and the stability of urban transport.
