Background:
- Ukraine's energy authorities have said that a recent large-scale Russian strike on energy infrastructure left some consumers without power in Kyiv and in Kyiv Oblast, Chernihiv and Kharkiv oblasts.
- Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported that damage to critical infrastructure had left nearly 6,000 apartment buildings without heating again.
