"The situation is difficult because most of these buildings are being reconnected for the second time after the damage to critical infrastructure on 9 January," Klitschko noted.

Utility workers and power engineers continue to work to restore heat, water and electricity supply to consumers in Kyiv.

Background:

  • Klitschko noted that the situation with water and heat supply in Kyiv's left bank and in the Pecherskyi district remains difficult.
