The Kyiv City State Administration also noted that due to the difficult situation in the capital’s power system, the metro operation has been partially changed. In particular, the movement of trains on the open section of the “red” line between the “Dnipro” and “Lisova” stations was temporarily stopped due to the lack of power.
