A photo gallery on OBOZ.UA presents rare images of Kyiv’s Podil from the 1970s, depicting tree-lined streets and a quieter, low‑rise character before later high-rise construction. The pictures highlight how the neighbourhood looked and prompt reflection on urban change in central Kyiv. Podil is one of Kyiv’s oldest districts; these archival photos offer residents and visitors a visual record of the area’s pre-development character, useful for anyone interested in the city’s architectural history and how post‑Soviet construction altered historic neighbourhoods.

Kyiv City State Administration (KMDA) announced that contactless (card) payments will not be rolled out in Kyiv's marshrutkas (minibuses) for now. According to the report, validators can be installed in this type of public transport only after a cancellation process referenced by KMDA. Many Kyiv residents rely on marshrutkas for short trips and daily commutes. The KMDA decision means passengers must continue to pay with cash on these routes and cannot yet use bank or city transport cards in minibuses.
