Quote from Klitschko: "As a result of a large-scale attack and damage to critical infrastructure, nearly 6,000 residential buildings in Kyiv were again left without heating this morning. Most of them are buildings that had been reconnected, or attempts had been made to reconnect them, to the heat supply after the attacks on 9 and 20 January.

Utility workers and power engineers continue their work to restore utilities to Kyiv residents' homes."

Details: The water supply has already been restored, he added.
