Crossing the river: strategy

During a meeting of the Kyiv Defence Council held on 27 October, the progress of the project to create combined water crossings over the Dnipro River was analysed in detail. The design and construction of access roads to the future crossings were also a focus of attention. As Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported, the final decision on the placement of these facilities will be made by the military command. The Kyiv City Military Administration will, among other things, provide its approval.

Protecting critical infrastructure

The Mayor of the capital, Vitali Klitschko, informed about the results of the discussion. He drew attention to the fact that the safety of operating Kyiv's bridges became a separate topic against the backdrop of increasing intensity of shelling of critical infrastructure objects.

“In particular, specialists from the relevant city institutions are developing additional technical solutions for preserving the structures of bridge crossings over the Dnipro River. Proposals from the military were heard on this issue,” the mayor explained.

Organising shelters

The meeting also considered the issue of installing mobile shelters. Participants heard information from the leadership of the Main Directorate of the Security Service of Ukraine in Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast.

Vitali Klitschko reminded that in mid-October, during a meeting of the Kyiv City State Administration, he issued an order to the heads of the capital's districts. They were instructed to determine priorities in spending funds on equipping shelters, not to shirk the issue of installing mobile shelters, and to redistribute financial resources within district budgets.
