Situation in Kyiv after the shelling
After the shelling by the Russian Federation on January 13, there is an energy deficit and heating disruptions in Kyiv. The capital's mayor Vitali Klitschko reported that about 500 high-rise buildings remain without heating. The situation is further complicated by the suspension of ground electric transport on the right bank.
The shelling caused severe consequences not only in Kyiv but also in seven regions of Ukraine where there were also power outages. In addition, 17 settlements in Chernihiv and Transcarpathian regions remain without electricity.
Vitali Klitschko noted that 'after today's shelling, there is an even greater energy deficit in the capital. Even to provide for critical infrastructure.'

The situation in Kyiv and other regions remains complicated, and residents face numerous difficulties due to the lack of energy and heating. Local authorities are working on resolving the issues, but the consequences of the shelling significantly complicate these efforts.
Currently, coordination between local authorities and energy companies is crucial for the rapid restoration of electricity and heating supply. In the cold season, especially in the context of war, maintaining critical infrastructure is a priority for ensuring the safety and comfort of citizens. Appropriate measures can help mitigate the effects of shelling and enhance the city's resilience to similar situations in the future.
