Masha Yefrosinina Criticized the Kyiv Authorities Over the Metro Scandal
TV host Masha Yefrosinina criticized the Kyiv authorities following reports that, during an air raid alert, people were allegedly not allowed to enter the subway as a shelter.
On the social media platform Threads, she questioned the availability of shelters in the capital and called on the authorities to explain the reports that Kyiv residents were barred from entering metro stations during the nighttime attack.
The post sparked a lively discussion. Users reacted differently to the TV host’s statement: some supported her position, while others pointed out the division of responsibilities between the city and military administrations.
Before the Russian Federation’s massive attack, Yefrosinina also posted a photo with her son, taken in a shelter.
