City residents have started a petition
Residents of the capital are urging the city authorities and the police to take action to stop certain categories of individuals from begging in the carriages of the Kyiv subway.
A corresponding petition on this matter has been posted on the Kyiv City Council's website.
The authors of the initiative explain that it is necessary to prohibit begging in the subway carriages, as it distracts passengers from their journeys and causes inconvenience. Additionally, beggars are often unkempt and can frighten passengers.
As a reminder, Kyiv residents have called on the city authorities to set up special warming stations for the homeless, as winter is gradually but surely approaching with its frosty temperatures.
