Kharkiv will receive 20 trolleybuses from Brno

Igor Terekhov noted that the sister city relations between Kharkiv and Brno were established 20 years ago. During this time, many joint projects have been implemented, and after the full-scale invasion of Russia, the support of Czech partners has become especially valuable for Kharkiv.

‘I would like to thank the Czech people and the mayor of Brno personally for the comprehensive assistance we receive - political, humanitarian, financial and military. I am especially grateful for the public transport. Earlier, we received six trams from Brno, which are already operating in Kharkiv. And soon 20 trolleybuses will be sent to our city. This is a significant help, because a large part of the rolling stock was damaged or destroyed by shelling,’ said Igor Terekhov.

According to him, all trolleybuses meet modern standards: they are low-floor and equipped with platforms for people with disabilities.

In turn, Marketa Vankova stressed that despite the expansion of cooperation with other Ukrainian cities, Kharkiv remains a priority partner for Brno. She also emphasised the city's readiness to continue supporting and strengthening partnerships with Kharkiv.
