Kyiv's Power, Water, and Heating Networks Remain Out of Order

Kyiv is facing significant challenges to its essential infrastructure due to Russian attacks. The electricity grid has collapsed and is undergoing repairs, while water and heating networks have also ceased to function as a result of the power outage. Authorities announced that the repair process is underway, but have not provided a specific timeline for the restoration of services. The situation is exacerbated by the low temperatures, with 50% of homes in Kyiv without heating after the latest attack. Temperatures have dropped below -10 degrees Celsius, creating difficult conditions for residents. The power outage has also affected public transport, with electric vehicles out of service. Authorities have not announced alternative solutions for citizens' transportation. The lack of basic services, combined with extreme weather conditions, is creating a humanitarian crisis in Kyiv. Authorities are urging residents to remain vigilant and follow their instructions.
