  "account": "Kyiv has introduced 85 new buses to its streets, funded by a European Investment Bank agreement. Mayor Vitali Klitschko announced the addition during a meeting with EIB Group Vice-President Karl Nehammer. The 12-meter low-floor buses, purchased under the \"Ukraine Urban Public Transport\" project, feature ramps, air conditioning, surveillance cameras, and energy-efficient lighting. These accessible vehicles, built to replace older models, will transport passengers on Kyiv's routes. The European bank has provided over 2 billion euros to Ukraine since the war started, focusing on infrastructure repairs. This latest bus purchase is part of a broader partnership, with the EIB aiding Kyiv's metro by replacing Russian-made coaches and reducing dependency on Russian spare parts.",
