Kyiv: Power Distribution Networks Out of Order

Kyiv's power distribution network has been severely damaged by the winter military operations of the Russian forces, including a recent bombing. The power outage has also affected water infrastructure, heating systems, and public transport. City officials announced that repair work is underway, without specifying how long it will take. According to the latest estimates, 50% of residential buildings in Kyiv were without heating yesterday, with temperatures falling below -10 degrees Celsius. The situation is worsening due to the cold weather, and the mayor of Kyiv has called for a temporary evacuation of the city.
