In Kharkiv, 70% of city buses were destroyed by Russian shelling

Almost half of all roads in the city were damaged due to Russian attacks.

The Russian army shelled 70% of communal buses, 50% of trams and more than 25% of trolleybuses, damaged 35 kilometers of contact network and almost half of all roads in Kharkiv. This was reported by the mayor of the city, Igor Terekhov: “But, despite the huge losses and damages, even during the worst times during the last year and a half, traffic in the city did not stop for a moment – public transport ran, and broken roads were repaired.”

A petition has appeared on the website of the Kharkiv City Council to increase the duration of street lighting in the city. The author, Oleksandr Kiselyov, emphasized the need to synchronize the lighting schedule with the curfew and turn off street lighting at 11:00 p.m.

The public utility “Misksvitlo” noted that street lights are turned off earlier in order to save money.
