Kyiv residents are demanding that all shelters be provided with reliable internet access
A petition has been filed in Kyiv calling for all shelters to be provided with stable internet access. The authors emphasize that during air raid alerts, mobile service often goes out underground, and the lack of information negatively affects people’s mental well-being.
The petition notes that existing Wi-Fi routers cannot handle large numbers of users, and due to the lack of backup power, they often stop working during power outages.
The petitioners are calling on city authorities to address this issue and equip the shelters with modern communication systems. For the petition to be officially considered, 25,000 signatures must be collected by the end of August.

As a result of a massive Russian attack on the night of July 2, public transportation routes in Kyiv have been altered. This was caused by damage to the overhead contact system, a lack of power, and cleanup efforts following the enemy shelling.
At least 11 people were killed and more than 30 others were injured as a result of the massive Russian attack on Kyiv that night. Rescue workers, police, and other emergency services continue to work at the sites of the strikes.
