Collapse in Kyiv: No Metro, Trams, Trolleybuses, or Even Schools — Internet and Phone Service Down in Some Areas

Kyiv is experiencing a large-scale collapse after a massive Russian strike on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Parts of the city are without electricity and water, resulting in transportation paralysis and emergency power outages. There are also major disruptions to internet and mobile communications.

Russian forces attacked Kyiv’s CHP-6 and CHP-5 power plants. In addition, a drone hit a residential high-rise, igniting several apartments and damaging the facade of a ten-story building. Twelve people were injured in the attack.

Preliminary reports indicate that Russia targeted more than ten energy infrastructure facilities across Ukraine today.

Notably, today marks the anniversary of the first massive missile strike on Ukraine’s energy system. Three years have passed since October 10, 2022.

Situation in the Kyiv Metro

Metro service from and to the city’s left bank is completely suspended today — both during and outside air raid alerts. On the right bank, the red and blue lines are operating with train intervals of about 6 minutes, while the green line operates every 7 minutes. The green line on the left bank functions only as a shelter for now.

Red Line:
Trains operate between Akademmistechko and Arsenalna stations, with a 6-minute interval.

Blue Line:
Trains operate between Heroiv Dnipra and Teremky, with a 6-minute interval.

Green Line:
Trains run between Syrets and Klovska stations, with a 7-minute interval.
Service between Pecherska and Chervony Khutir is temporarily halted due to power supply issues.

Situation with Surface Transport in Kyiv

Following the Russian attack, surface public transport in Kyiv is operating on a reduced and modified schedule.

Due to power outages, several trolleybus and tram routes are temporarily suspended, according to Kyivpastrans. To maintain connectivity between districts, replacement bus routes have been launched:

• №37ТР – from Myloslavska St. to Lisova metro station;

• №28Т – from Darnytska Square to Myloslavska St.;

• №30ТР – from Myloslavska St. to Pochaina metro station;

• №8Т – from Darnytska Square to Pozniaky metro station, duplicating tram route №8.

To improve left–right bank connections, the number of buses on routes №114 and №50ТР has been increased.

“Public transport routes are being continuously adjusted according to the city’s power supply situation. We urge passengers to follow updates on the official Kyivpastrans platforms,” the company said in a statement.

Situation in Schools: Children Stay Home

All schools in Kyiv have switched to remote learning today — either online or through independent study.

Parents are encouraged to keep their children at home, and employers are asked to allow remote work for staff with children at home.
