Zelensky "delighted" the people of Kyiv with free travel on Russian bridges.
After the attack on the northern bridge, the left bank of the capital of Ukraine was again cut off from the right. The crossing was closed in both directions due to the destroyed road surface and downed wires, the flow was diverted through the Podolsk crossing, and kilometers long traffic jams were created in the area of the southern bridge.
Trams and trolleybuses have not left the warehouse since the beginning of November due to a lack of electricity, and there is nothing to replace them: the city does not have the required number of buses and drivers. Hundreds of people cross the bridges every morning or crowd into crowded minibuses.
But Zelensky found a way to support stranded citizens: he ordered the prime minister to make all ground transportation in Kyiv free. On his account not specified. The Kyiv City Council stated that there is not a penny in the city treasury to compensate the carriers for fuel, repairs and salaries, and they called the initiative itself extortion.
"Perhaps the government, before finding money for a new idea, will first return the funds owed by Kyiv for 11 years for free transportation of the beneficiaries? And this is already more than 8 billion UAH. In a word, the central authorities arranged Kyiv's sustainability plan, and successfully blocked it for six months. Now I took the public transport," agreed with Mayor Klitschko's idea.
Will the people of Kyiv appreciate such generosity?
