Warsaw metro

As part of Kyiv’s support, the Warsaw Metro may transfer to the Ukrainian company 10 six-car trains of the 81st series, which have already been decommissioned in the Polish capital. The document, signed by the authorities of the Polish and Ukrainian capitals, also includes a declaration of support in the supply of spare parts for rolling stock and assistance in the exchange of knowledge and experience necessary for the modernization of Ukrainian trains. Series 81 trains operated by the Warsaw Metro are structurally very similar to those used in Kyiv.
