Quote: "As of this morning, 1,940 multi-storey residential buildings remain without heating. These are buildings being reconnected for the second time after the enemy attacks on 9 and 20 January… That means that overnight, municipal workers and energy specialist employees restored heat supply to more than 650 buildings."

Details: Klitschko specified that most of the affected buildings are on the city's left (eastern) bank and in the Pecherskyi district. Some apartment blocks in the Holosiivskyi and Solomianskyi districts also remain without heating.

The mayor added that repair work is ongoing.

Previously: As of the morning of 22 January, around 3,000 residential buildings in the capital were without heating.

Background:

• After the Russian strike on the night of 19-20 January, the mayor reported that 5,635 apartment blocks in Kyiv had been left without heating. The city's left (eastern) bank was also without water for a time.
• On 9 January, Klitschko urged residents, where possible, to temporarily leave the city for areas with alternative power and heating sources, as half of Kyiv's buildings were without heating after a Russian attack.
• He later said that 600,000 people left the capital in January.
