Sixty-seven apartment buildings in Kyiv remain without heat

In Kyiv, 67 apartment buildings remain without heating out of the 6,000 that lost heat supply following Russia's massive attack on January 9.

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko announced this on Telegram, Ukrinform reports.

He said municipal services continued working around the clock to restore critical infrastructure damaged by the enemy, while power engineers were doing everything possible to restore electricity to the capital, which is living and operating under emergency power outages.

"The situation is difficult. Freezing temperatures will persist. And the enemy will continue trying to attack our cities and infrastructure to break the Ukrainian people. Only by standing united, each of us doing our part and supporting one another, will we overcome the challenges we face," Klitschko said.
