  "account": "Massive Russian shelling in Kyiv led to significant damage at the Chernihivska metro station and Kyiv metro tracks. Currently, inspections are underway to assess the full extent of the damage, with all necessary specialists working on-site. Once the inspection is complete, the restoration work timeline will become clear. The Kyiv Metro has announced that additional announcements will follow regarding the resumption of station operations and train schedules. Currently, trains are running smoothly between Akademmistechko and Darnytsia stations, adhering to the regular schedule. However, due to the extensive shelling, both Chernihivska and Lisova stations are closed to entry and exit. Train traffic is currently limited to the route between Akademmistechko and Darnytsia.\n\nIn response to the metro infrastructure damage, the Kyiv City State Administration has taken steps to improve public transportation options. The number of buses on routes No. 1-M and No. 118 will be increased. Specifically, three buses will be added to the temporary route No. 1-M, operating between Lisova and Darnytsia stations. Meanwhile, 12 buses will serve the route No. 118, running from Lisova station to Palats Sportu station. Additionally, two more buses will be allocated to route No. 118 to enhance the transportation network amidst the ongoing challenges faced by the metro system.",
