Quote: "The most difficult situation right now is in Troieshchyna, where there are problems with heating, water supply and electricity."

Details: Klitschko said about 600 residential buildings are cut off from all essential services. Additional warming points are being set up on top of the 145 already established earlier in the Desnianskyi district.

The city is setting up support points where people can stay during the day and overnight. Some are being arranged in schools, equipped with mobile boiler units and facilities for overnight stays, including sleeping mats and food.

Mobile boiler units have already been dispatched for rapid connection.

The State Emergency Service of Ukraine also plans to deploy additional tented warming points.

Quote: "City services are doing everything to overcome the crisis situation caused by enemy attacks, which are trying to leave the capital without light, heat and water."

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, Chernihiv and Kharkiv oblasts.
• Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported that damage to critical infrastructure had left nearly 6,000 apartment buildings without heating again. Most of these are buildings that had already been reconnected, or attempts had been made to reconnect them to the heat supply, after the attacks on 9 and 20 January.
• Kyiv's green and red metro lines are running on a limited schedule on the morning of 24 January. Trains are not running between the left and right banks of the city following damage caused by an attack on the night of 23-24 January.
• Kyiv City State Administration later reported that the red metro line returns to normal service.
