According to the plan, by the end of the year, the 112 system will be expanded to cover the entire territory of Ukraine. Currently, it is functioning in the central and western macro regions, with the launch in Dnipro expected in May.

The emergency service numbers 101, 102, 103, and 104 will continue to operate even after the implementation of the new system in 2024.
