Volodymyr Zelensky on November 8 held a conference call on eliminating the consequences of Russian strikes in the regions. The president ordered the development of a program of free travel in Kyiv's ground transportation.
The head of state reported the results of the conference call in his Telegram channel. According to him, the authorities are preparing comprehensive solutions for the capital, and in Dnipropetrovsk region energy workers are around the clock eliminating power outages after the massive Russian attack.
Reserve transport and free passage in the capital
Prime Minister, the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, and the Minister of Internal Affairs presented the president with options for reserve transport schemes for the capital. Currently, the necessary number of buses is being worked out, as well as the reorganization of traffic in certain parts of the city.
This will help preserve connectivity in case of possible disruptions in the operation of the metro or difficulties on bridges over the Dnieper.
He instructed the Prime Minister to present a program of free travel in the city’s ground transport and sufficient bus reserves for Kyiv. Thanks for concrete proposals.
– emphasized the President.
Another topic of the selector meeting was the consequences of shelling in Dnipropetrovsk region, in particular in Dnipro, Pavlohrad, and Kamianske. At the peak of outages, more than 600 thousand subscribers—people, enterprises, and critical infrastructure facilities—were without power. Power supply in the region is gradually being restored by repair crews.
In addition, participants heard reports on the situation in Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, and other frontline settlements. Specific tasks were assigned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine and the diplomatic team of the Office of the President ahead of international meetings: to support Ukrainians in winter, preparations for new energy and financial aid packages continue.
Earlier, the head of state noted that due to Russian attacks the worst situation with restoration was observed precisely in Kyiv, where residents faced long outages. He criticized the Kyiv city authorities for failing to prepare backup power.
