Earlier, the prosecutor’s office stated that the flooding of the tunnels was caused by improper operation, citing the results of an expert examination. Klitschko says that he has the results of another expert examination, which allegedly established the presence of violations during the construction of the metro. Klitschko promises to go to court with the findings.
On July 24, the Kiev administration stated that the tunnel between the now closed metro stations “Demiivska” and “Lybidska” was poorly built.
The Kyiv City State Administration referred to the results of the examination of the Scientific Research Forensic Institution. They allegedly indicate poor design decisions and poor construction of the tunnel. That is, the problems were laid back in 2008-2010. They promise to pass on the results of the examination to law enforcement officers so that they can add them to the criminal case.
The Kyiv prosecutor’s office states that it has its own expert examination results and refutes the poor quality of the tunnel construction between the flooded stations. The investigation believes that the tunnel’s destruction was caused by improper operation.
The Kyiv Metropolitan enterprise also referred to the examination conducted by the Kyiv City State Administration, but the prosecutor’s office says that it has not received any examination results or documents on which the claims of poor construction are based.
On July 23, two officials of the capital’s metro were notified of suspicion. The head of the tunnel structures service and the chief engineer are accused of official negligence. They probably did not take care of the structures, although money was allocated from the budget for this.
The tunnel between the metro stations “Demiivska” and “Lybidska” in Kyiv was flooded in December 2023. Almost immediately, train traffic between the metro stations “Demiivska” and “Teremki” (6 stations in total) was closed. It was previously reported that the repairs would last six months.
