7 July , 2023  

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has fully implemented the 112 service in Kyiv – a single number for all emergencies, the ministry reports.
“The Interior Ministry has fully implemented the 112 service in Kyiv, a single number for all emergencies. The 112 communication center is already processing incoming information and covering the capital,” the Interior Ministry said in a statement on its Telegram channel on Friday.
Reportedly, operators receive calls from citizens. The requests are then forwarded to the necessary units, which respond accordingly. “It is important that operators who speak sign language can communicate with applicants via video call. To do this, you need to send an SMS to 112 and wait for a link to the connection,” the Ministry of Internal Affairs said.
“We promised to launch the service in early July, and we kept our word. Our next steps are to scale 112 first in all cities with a population of over one million, and then to the entire territory of the state,” the statement emphasizes.
