Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko announced the start of 4G network operations at another 8 stations of the capital's metro. He reported this to journalists at the Dorohozhychi station.
"Today, together with Ukraine's mobile market operators, we are presenting the launch of 4G coverage at 8 Kyiv metro stations, — Klitschko's press service quoted him as saying. — The project is not simple and is lengthy, since large market players, a contractor and state institutions are involved in the process."

The volume of work is considerable. But already now one can speak of significant progress in developing communications infrastructure in the capital's underground.
4G coverage is already available at 9 Kyiv metro stations: in addition to the Akademhorodok station, announced earlier, these are Zhytomyrska, Sviatoshyn, Heroiv Dnipra, Minska, Obolon, Syrets, Dorohozhychi and Lukianivska.
In early spring it became known that the Kyiv City Council backed the idea of launching 4G in the metro. The 4G internet is expected to cover all Kyiv metro stations by the beginning of 2021.
