Kyiv plans to shorten curfew hours
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced potential changes to the curfew rules in Kyiv. The authorities are considering shortening its duration to make life more comfortable for the capital's residents and to support business operations.
Currently, the curfew in Kyiv is in effect from 00:00 to 05:00. During this time, citizens are prohibited from being on the streets without special passes, and public transport does not operate. Changing these rules would allow people to use the services of establishments for longer and make it easier for them to return home in the evening.
Representatives of the city administration note that the decision to change the hours will be made after consultations with the military and law enforcement agencies. The main priority remains the safety of citizens, so any changes will depend on the current security situation in the region and the ability to effectively maintain order at night.
The capital's business community has received this news positively. Owners of restaurants, cafes, and shops hope that shortening the curfew will help increase revenue and create new jobs, which is important for the country's economy during the war.
It is expected that an official decision regarding the new time limits will be announced in the near future. Residents are asked to monitor announcements from official sources and to continue following the established safety rules until they are officially updated.
