The Kyiv City Military Administration said on March 20 that its head Serhiy Popko had signed an order to reduce curfew hours in Kyiv.

Starting from March 26, the curfew will be in force from 12 a.m. to 5 a.m.

Before the order, the curfew began at 11 p.m. It was imposed in February 2022 as a result of Russia's full-scale invasion.

A statement from Popko said that the decision had been made taking into account the need to improve the lives of local residents without overlooking wartime safety measures.

When the plan to reduce curfew was first announced on March 17, Poko warned that security measures could be strengthened if the threat level against Kyiv increases, which remains a possibility for as long as the war continues.

Independent journalism needs a community —
not a paywall.

We’re working hard to show the world the truth of Russia’s brutal war — and we’re keeping it free for everyone, because reliable information should be available to all.

Our goal: reach 20,000 members to prove independent journalism can survive without paywalls, billionaires, or compromise. Will you help us do it?

"I've gotten to see things I was very surprised at. Rockets being shot into cities like Kyiv during a negotiation that was maybe very close to ending," Trump said during a news conference in the Oval Office. "All of a sudden rockets got shot into a couple of cities and people died. I saw thing I was surprised at and I don't like being surprised, so I'm very disappointed in that way."
