Quote: "Some districts are still seeing reduced pressure, so water may not reach upper floors. Engineers are working to stabilise the system, and we expect the pressure to have evened out by the end of the day."

Details: Kuleba added that residents in over 4,000 of the capital's apartment buildings still have no heating. The strikes halted the supply of heat to almost half of the apartment blocks connected to the centralised heating system.

Kyiv has deployed an additional 68 emergency response teams to expedite repairs.

Quote: "Mobile boiler units are being deployed for key hospitals, maternity hospitals and invincibility centres" [heated premises stocked with food and power banks to assist residents facing hardships due to power cuts – ed.].

More details: Kuleba added that 1,335 invincibility centres are open in Kyiv and 90 new ones have been set up by the State Emergency Service of Ukraine.

Background: Oleksii Kuleba reported on the morning of 20 January that around 3,500 residential buildings on Kyiv's left (eastern) bank had been left without water and the right (western) bank was operating at reduced pressure, but that the water supply was expected to be restored during the day.
