Subsequently, a shuttle train service was launched between Teremky and Demiivska stations in Kyiv.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported that by the end of the summer it is planned to resume traffic on the blue line of the subway from Teremky to Demiivska station, which is currently closed due to problems with the tunnel.
