However, on the night of January 29, the city came under a new attack by kamikaze drones. A single-story building and two vehicles were damaged, but there were no casualties.
Government Assistance for Purchasing Energy Equipment
As of the evening of January 28, 639 apartment buildings in Kyiv remained without heat. This is a consequence of a massive attack on January 24, 2026, particularly in the Desnianskyi district. In response, Ukraine's Cabinet of Ministers has approved state aid for the purchase of energy equipment to support those affected by such strikes.
The aid, ranging from 100,000 to 300,000 hryvnias, will be provided to:
- Homeowners' associations (OSBB)
- Housing and service cooperatives
- Managers of apartment buildings
The purpose of this funding is to purchase generators, batteries, inverters, and other energy equipment. Applications for assistance can be submitted online via the 'Diia' platform. This initiative is part of a broader effort to bolster Ukraine's energy resilience against ongoing infrastructure attacks, which have been a persistent feature of the conflict. The aid program aims not just to restore services but to strengthen local communities' long-term capacity to withstand future disruptions.
