Curfew on New Year's Eve in Kyiv
Recall that the people of Kiev propose to cancel all for one day, on New Year's Eve, the curfew in the city. Another proposal concerns moving around the city on a holiday.
Thus, the public demands to allow the population to use taxi services and thus move around the city on New Year's Day. There was even a special petition created for this. However, there are both positive and negative reactions to such a proposal. Therefore, there are two petitions – “for” and “against”.
On December 22, it became known that the curfew for the New Year in Kyivwill not be canceled. usually, will be valid from 23:00 to 5:00. Likewise at Christmas. This was announced by the secretary of the Kyiv City Council Volodymyr Bondarenko.
