The warning comes amid a severe public transportation shortage in the war-torn city, which has a population of 1.4 million people.
Notably, Kharkiv, which is located in the eastern portion of the city near the Russian border, has been under siege since the invasion began. Russian paratroopers entered in Kharkiv earlier today, sparking street brawls.
