## Key points

- Zelensky wants free overground transport in Kyiv during disruptions.
- Officials are working out vehicle numbers and traffic changes.
- Bridge attacks have disrupted travel across the Dnipro.

## Summary

President Volodymyr Zelensky has asked Prime Minister Serhii Koretsyi to devise a free overground transport programme for Kyiv, to help residents travel if Russian attacks disrupt the metro or close bridges. The proposal responds to growing difficulty crossing the Dnipro and maintaining movement around the capital.

Details, including the number of vehicles and possible traffic changes, are being worked out, with a presentation expected as early as 9 November. Russia has targeted bridges since early October; the Northern Bridge was hit again during an overnight attack on 6–7 November, when 36 ballistic missiles were launched at Kyiv and the surrounding region. Damage and air-raid alerts have at times stopped vehicle and train traffic, leaving people to cross bridges on foot.
