Kyiv weighs ferry crossings after bridge strikes

news.telegraf.com.ua (Ukrainian) —

Following Russian attacks on Kyiv's Dnipro River bridges, Ukrainian officials are proposing ferry crossings as a backup to maintain connectivity between the city's banks. The proposal has sparked debate over its feasibility. Lawmaker Volodymyr Kreidenko argues ferries are a priority, suggesting separate routes for cargo and passenger transport, citing existing infrastructure and successful use in Norway and Turkey. He believes the city can organize this quickly. However, lawmaker Yulia Sirko is skeptical, noting navigation on the Dnipro is currently banned except for military use. She highlights the need for specialized ferries and a concrete plan, stating the idea remains theoretical.
