Lack of funds in the capital's budget

Kyiv currently has no financial resources to implement the free travel promised by President Volodymyr Zelensky. This was reported by Kyiv City Council member Alla Shlapak.

According to the politician, the local budget lacks the funds to realise this initiative. She emphasised that free travel can be introduced only on the condition of a subvention from the government.

Risks of forced compliance

Shlapak expressed concern that Kyiv City Hall might be forced to implement free travel without providing the corresponding compensation. The council member fears that in such a case, the capital's authorities could later be accused of failing to deliver on the promised initiative.

She also noted that no one has yet asked Kyiv for specific calculations regarding the mechanism for implementing free travel.
