In Kyiv, amid active attacks by the Russian Federation on bridges over the Dnipro, the possibility of launching river transport is being considered. This was announced by the deputy head of the infrastructure committee of the Rada, Kreidenko.
Potential of River Transport
Kreidenko noted that the “Administration of River Ports” already has boats capable of transporting 100 to 150 people. According to him, these vessels are already registered, but it is necessary to conduct an inventory to check their actual condition and readiness for use.
Necessary Actions for Launch
To implement river transport, appropriate orders and verification of the technical condition of the available vessels are required. Kreidenko emphasized that there is currently operational information about the availability of boats in proper condition, but without official actions, their use is impossible.
Context of the Situation with Bridges
It is worth noting that in recent months, Russia has been actively striking bridges over the Dnipro in Kyiv, complicating transportation between the banks. This highlights the importance of alternative modes of transport, such as river transport, which could address the issue of residents' mobility in the capital.
