President Volodymyr Zelensky instructed the government on November 8, 2026 to create a free public transport programme in Kyiv. The move follows Russian bridge attacks that have hindered travel in the capital. During a conference call, Zelensky also reviewed restoration work in the Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions and asked for an adequate reserve of buses for Kyiv. According to presidential adviser Dmytro Lytvyn, details of the plan could be presented as soon as November 9. Traffic was partially restored on Kyiv's North Bridge the same day.
