The city authorities promised to provide further information on the exact time for a return to the full schedule on all lines.
Disruptions in the metro's operation were caused by instability in the city's power grid. Previously, on October 8, due to a lack of voltage in the contact network in Kyiv, the movement of several tram and trolleybus routes was delayed, as well as the operation of electric transport was stopped in several areas of the capital.
