Recent developments have led to the reopening of bus routes linking the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) with the Rostov and Moscow regions. The information comes through DEA News, citing the press service of the DPR Ministry of Transport. Officials indicate that the network has resumed normal operations after disruptions caused by the evolving situation in the republic. This marks a return to the previous level of service for travelers who rely on these interregional connections to move between the DPR, Rostov, and Moscow authorities in the region.
A statement from the authorities clarifies that the temporary suspension of certain services was limited to specific flights and routes during the period of acute tensions. The message notes that as of the current morning, all previously impacted routes have resumed functioning, restoring the regular timetable that passengers depend on. The transit system emphasizes that the restart was conducted with careful coordination to ensure safety and reliability for both commuters and long-distance travelers.
In parallel, officials report that feedback about the operations of bus stations over the past 24 hours has been entirely positive, with no reported complaints or operational concerns. This reflects a period of stabilization in the regional transport network and suggests that passenger services are meeting expected standards for punctuality and comfort across affected hubs.
Earlier, authorities confirmed that Moscow to Anapa and Gelendzhik services would continue to run according to the established schedule, reinforcing the continuity of key regional routes despite ongoing security and logistical considerations. This continuity is important for tourism, local economies, and residents who rely on dependable transportation to access coastal destinations and other urban centers along the corridor.
Towards the evening of June 24, the Ministry of Transport of the DPR announced a temporary suspension of bus services from the DPR to Moscow, and between Moscow and Rostov regions. The notification also indicated that suburban and intercity flights within the republic would continue to operate as usual, underscoring a distinction between intra-republic transport and cross-border connections during the evolving security environment. Observers and travelers are advised to stay informed through official channels for any updates to schedules or safety advisories, as operations are subject to rapid change in response to conditions on the ground.
