On October 14, the Kyiv metro stopped for several minutes due to a loss of external power. Service on all lines has already been restored.
The Kyiv Metro has resumed operations after service was restricted on all three lines on October 14: the "Blue," "Red," and "Green" lines. Oksana Nykyforuk, a spokesperson for the capital’s "underground," told UNN in a comment.

"The metro is currently transporting passengers as normal. Metro trains have resumed service on all lines," the Kyiv Metro spokesperson said.
She added that they had been forced to suspend underground service because the voltage from external power sources had disappeared. Therefore, the trains were temporarily stopped. However, Nykyforuk clarified that the stoppage lasted only a few minutes and did not cause any panic among passengers.
