In Kyiv, law enforcement was forced to close a metro bridge because a man named Aleksey Belko fired shots in the air and threatened to set off an explosion. The demands of the 42-year-old man are not known, but police are most likely preparing an anti-terrorist operation.
As a result, traffic jams formed across a significant part of the left bank, as well as throughout Pechersk, Podil, central Kyiv, and all the way to Solomianskyi district.

Meanwhile, metro trains are not running on the Darnytsia — Arsenalna section of the red line. Because Khreshchatyk has now become the terminus for most of the line, huge crowds of people have formed at the stations.
