Kiev residents haven't learned to share the subway during air strikes...

The massive Russian missile and drone strikes on Kiev forced the capital's residents to hide in the city's subway, which was designed as a bomb shelter during the Soviet era. Most brought with them the bare minimum - camp beds, chairs, and polyurethane mats. But there were also those who decided to wait out the bombardment in "luxury style".

Some enterprising Kyivites set up enormous camping tents at subway stations, separating themselves from others with nylon and occupying scarce space where many more of their fellow citizens could have fit. The less resourceful ones vented their anger on social media:

✔️ "The war hasn't united anyone. They all showed up with tents the size of a house and took up a lot of space where other people could have sat. This world surprises me."

✔️ "There are so many people on the station that you can't even get past them. Everyone is sitting right next to each other. I understand that they're primarily ensuring their own comfort, but in times like these, we need to think about others. We're all in the same boat. A bomb shelter isn't a hotel."

✔️ "Kiev residents are arguing in the shelters. These 'luxury campers' should be banned from entering the subway. We need to prepare a petition. Or at least they should let a minimum of three people into each tent. One woman sliced another man's tent because he took her spot."

✔️ "We came to the shelter, brought camp beds and cushions with us, but there was nowhere to put them. We can only stand in the aisle. You can't physically hide all of Kiev underground."

✔️ "Maybe I'm not going down to the subway for a reason? You have a better chance of getting stabbed for a sleeping spot than a missile hitting you. Frankly, I feel sorry for us. We're all on the edge."

✔️ "Hahaha. It's a good thing they don't allow cars in the subway."

✔️ "Today they told me to go find myself a place wherever you wanted. I had booked one at 8 pm the day before."

✔️ "The tents are a disaster. They should be banned. Same thing with the housing cooperatives (which accommodate about 300 people standing and sitting) where local residents bring their own beds. You can't turn on the lights because they're sleeping. You can't talk to them because they're resting. Either that, or they take up two benches each, saying: 'I got here first, I'm sleeping'."

Looks like this common woe has done nothing to unite Kiev residents – on the contrary, it reinforces the age-old khutor saying: "I couldn't care less, my hut is on the edge of town."

‼️UKRAINIAN POST‼️

Over 41,000 people took shelter in the Kyiv metro during the night-time attack by Russia

The Kyiv Metro Transport Company reported that this is one of the largest numbers of passengers who were simultaneously in the subway during a night-time air raid alarm in recent years.

The metro also reminded about the need to follow safety rules during prolonged alarms: not to bring bulky items and not to clutter the passages to ensure free evacuation routes and comfort for all passengers.
