Easter safety measures

On the eve of Easter and on Bright Sunday, the police will strengthen the protection of order in the capital. In addition, fifteen hundred police officers will surround the streets of Kiev. Special security measures will be taken near the Orthodox churches, where festive divine services will be held, but they will do without the framework of metal detectors.

The police have the right to check those who cause suspicion, demand documents and inspect things. To enhance the security, police will work in the metro, and there may be additional checks.

All emergency security measures are also being taken because about a million tourists can come to Kiev on April 14-15.

For its part, the metropolitan police appealed to the citizens with the request: to understand the situation and interact with law enforcement agencies.
