Ukraine: Strategic developments in Kyiv

Kyiv Metro ranked 14th in the list of 18 best metro systems in the world according to CNN Travel. The Kyiv subway outranked the metros of Chicago, Hong Kong, Budapest, and New Delhi. The top three places in the ranking were taken by London, Beijing, and Copenhagen. CNN noted the special role of the Kyiv metro during the full-scale war. 47 out of 52 stations serve as shelters during Russian attacks. In March 2022, up to 40,000 people found refuge in the metro stations. Separately, the publication mentioned "Arsenalna" - one of the deepest metro stations in the world, located at a depth of about 105 meters, as well as international press conferences held by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the subway.
