On March 28, Odesa electric transport started running in test mode after a long period of forced downtime and is now operating as it did before the New Year. Instead, during the day on March 28, social (free) buses operated in reduced numbers in those areas where it is currently impossible to resume electric transport. On Sunday, social buses are off and will continue to operate on Monday. After that, some buses from other cities began to return home. Thus, Mykolaiv buses have already returned to their city.

On the morning of December 31, 2025, the head of the Odesa City Administration, Serhiy Lysak, said that due to a power shortage, trams and trolleybuses in Odesa were not yet operating. On the evening of the same day, the mayors of Lviv, Andriy Sadovyi, and Mykolaiv, Oleksandr Senkevych, announced that they had sent buses to Odesa to replace trams and trolleybuses on the city's streets. Subsequently, buses arrived from other regions, with the last batch of five vehicles arriving on February 28, 2026.
