Klitschko warns of difficult days for the capital due to frost and blackouts
The next few days will be extremely challenging for Ukrainian cities, including the capital. This was announced by the mayor of Kyiv Vitali Klitschko, urging residents to prepare for severe weather and power outages.
Frost and the energy crisis
According to the mayor, severe frosts are expected in Kyiv again, especially at night. The situation is complicated by the critical state of Ukraine's energy system after another massive shelling by Russia.
Emergency power outages continue in most regions of the country, affecting the operation of infrastructure and the living conditions of citizens.
Limited power supply
According to the Ministry of Energy, Kyiv residents currently receive electricity only at one and a half to two hours per day. This is due to damage to the energy infrastructure and the need to stabilise the system.
The city authorities are urging Kyiv residents to use resources sparingly, prepare a supply of water, warm clothes and charged devices, and follow official announcements regarding power supply schedules.
Context.
Russia's attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure remain one of the key factors putting pressure on the civilian population during the winter. Authorities warn that it may take time to restore a stable power supply, especially in the face of low temperatures.
