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

Details: Kuleba added that residents in more than 4,000 residential buildings in the capital remain without heating. After the strikes, heat supply was halted in almost half of the apartment blocks connected to the centralised system.

To accelerate repairs, Kyiv has deployed an additional 68 emergency response teams.

Quote: "Mobile boiler units are being deployed for hub hospitals, maternity hospitals and invincibility centres." [Invincibility centres are 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 operating in Kyiv; a further 90 have been set up by units of 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 have been left without water, while the right (western) bank is operating at reduced pressure. The water supply was expected to be restored during the day.
