Over 1,000 Apartment Buildings in Kyiv Without Heating After Russian Attack

More than 1,000 apartment buildings in Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, remain without heating following the recent Russian attack. President Zelenskyy stated that restoration work is ongoing, but the situation is 'extremely difficult,' especially in border areas. The Russian attack resulted in almost the entire city being without power and heating, with water supply and partial restoration of power and heating occurring only on Sunday. Zelenskyy accused Russia of deliberately waiting for the freeze to worsen the situation for the Ukrainian people, calling it 'cynical terrorism.' Authorities warn that this winter could be the coldest and darkest yet, with the energy grid on the verge of collapse.
