Patrol police have fully closed Mykola Trublaïni Street on Kyiv’s Right Bank after an accident; investigators are working at the scene in Solomianskyi district. Drivers face jams and are asked to use detours such as Lesia Kurbasa Avenue, Symyrenka/Yakub Kolas or the Ring Road–Soborna route. If you travel between the Ring Road and Borshchahivka, follow the suggested detours now — the closure affects both directions through Solomianskyi district.
On 2 September 2026 Kyiv customs officers inspected a parcel from China and confiscated luxury footwear—Santoni shoes and Chanel sneakers—reported by local media. Solomianskyi District Court examined Kyiv Customs materials and issued a ruling to hold the parcel’s sender to account. For Kyiv shoppers importing goods from abroad: this case shows customs checks and local court enforcement can lead to seizure if declarations don't match contents.
Private sellers in Kyiv region have raised oak firewood prices from about 1,500–2,500 UAH/m³ last year to roughly 3,700–4,500 UAH/m³ in 2026. State-supplied wood rose only modestly to about 1,200 UAH/m³, but buyers may face extra transport and preparation costs. Kyiv residents face the highest private offers and rising delivery fees (example: minimum delivery to Solomianskyi district around 2,000 UAH); consider state supply via the DrovaYe service.
