Kyiv Struggles With Heat Outages After Russian Strikes as Temperatures Plunge

City repairs continue under subzero cold with the mayor warning energy supply remains very difficult.

Overview

  • Kyiv officials say roughly half the city’s residential buildings initially lost heat after the strikes, with about 1,000 still offline on Sunday.
  • The attacks killed at least four people and damaged energy and residential infrastructure across the capital.
  • Mayor Vitali Klitschko urged residents who can to leave temporarily while crews work to restore service.
  • Heated shelters and tents are operating so residents can warm up, charge phones and access basic services as nighttime temperatures near −18 to −20°C.
  • Ukraine requested an urgent UN Security Council session for January 12, as fresh strikes over the weekend briefly cut power in the Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia regions.
