You can now call Bolt and Uklon taxis during curfew in Ukraine

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has approved new regulations allowing curfews to be relaxed in cities and communities where an energy emergency is in effect.

Starting January 22, 2026, the Uklon car-hailing service will operate 24/7, including the curfew, in 19 Ukrainian cities. This decision was made in accordance with the Cabinet of Ministers’ resolution on overcoming the consequences of the energy emergency.

Bolt also confirmed that it will resume operations in Kyiv during the curfew.

At the same time, shopping and entertainment centers, pharmacies, gas stations, and other businesses designated as “points of inviolability” will be allowed to operate 24/7.

The Ukrainian authorities made this decision due to the challenging power supply situation and severe frosts.
