Kyiv responded whether public transport will stop during the moment of silence.

In Kyiv, information was denied that public transport in the capital would stop during the nationwide moment of silence.

This was reported by the press service of the Kyiv City State Administration (KCSA).

It was noted that a number of media outlets spread information that between 08:50 and 09:00, drivers of communal surface transport in Kyiv would stop buses, trolleybuses, and trams during the nationwide moment of silence. Movement would only be allowed to resume after the announcement has ended.

However, the KCSA denied this information. They stated that surface public transport would inform daily about the nationwide moment of silence, but without stopping the movement.

'In the surface public transport of Kyiv, information will be provided daily about the nationwide moment of silence - without stopping the movement. The information that public transport will stop for 10 minutes during the nationwide moment of silence (supposedly from 08:50 to 09:00) is not true,' it says in reality.

The KCSA also emphasized that during this Time frame, in the buses, trolleybuses, and trams equipped with a loudspeaker system, an audio message will sound to honor the memory of fallen defenders and civilians of Ukraine.

'When information about the moment of silence is announced, the movement of surface public transport will not stop and will continue according to the schedule. Currently, Kyivpastrans is preparing to implement this decision,' they added in the administration.

Recall that a 'city within a city' may appear in Kyiv.
