Quote: "The first seven invincibility carriages have been promptly deployed in some cities in Kyiv Oblast that have been left without power: three in Brovary, two in Boryspil and two in Vasylkiv (at Vasylkiv-Tsentr station).

Each carriage can comfortably accommodate about 40 visitors at one time.

The invincibility carriages offer a chance to warm up, charge your devices, connect to the internet via Starlink and have free hot tea."

Details: These carriages also have everything needed for children – cartoons, games, colouring books, books and board games.

For passengers with pets, treats are available in a pet-friendly compartment.

This project is being implemented together with the Ministry for Development of Communities and Territories and is being rolled out in Kyiv Oblast with the support of Kyiv Oblast Military Administration. Ukrzaliznytsia thanked the NGOs All Hands and Hearts, World Central Kitchen, White Stork and the Hachiko Foundation for their support.
