Kharkiv Metro Halted for Third Day Over Power Supply Problems

The operator blames insufficient grid voltage, leaving stations open only as shelters.

Overview

  • Kharkiv’s metro remained closed to passenger service for a third consecutive day, the operator said on Monday.
  • Officials cited a critical drop in grid voltage below allowable levels as the reason service cannot operate safely.
  • The system is functioning in shelter mode, with trains not running and stations serving protective purposes.
  • City authorities have reorganized surface transport to partially offset the loss of metro service.
  • No restart timeline has been provided, and the operator said updates will be issued via its Telegram channel after earlier notices from Mayor Ihor Terekhov.
