Kyiv Restores Heating to 2,600 Buildings Following February 12th Attack

Kyiv Infrastructure Targeted in Attack

According to Главком: Following an attack on Kyiv's infrastructure on February 12, heating has been restored to 2,600 buildings in the capital. However, more than 1,100 buildings in the Dnipro and Darnytskyi districts remain without heat. This ongoing issue stems from severe damage to the Darnytska Thermal Power Plant, which was struck on February 3, 2026, and is now undergoing major repairs. These attacks on energy infrastructure are part of a wider campaign that has severely tested Ukraine's resilience.

Humanitarian Aid Arrives from Slovakia

The city has also received its first shipment of humanitarian aid from Slovakia, which includes:

• 16 generators of varying capacities;
• two high-capacity charging stations.

The total value of this equipment is 166,000 euros. Among the items are three of the most powerful units, rated at 225 kW, 100 kW, and 63 kW. City authorities plan to allocate these three high-power units to schools in different districts of Kyiv. Such international support is crucial for maintaining essential services during power disruptions.

In a related development, Ukraine's Ministry of Energy is tightening control over power outages. Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal has instructed the State Energy Supervision Authority to conduct inspections to ensure the stability of the power supply under the current circumstances.

These events underscore the acute challenges Kyiv faces regarding energy security and infrastructure recovery. Damage to heating networks from attacks threatens the comfort and safety of residents, especially during winter. The arrival of aid from Slovakia is a vital step, as the generators can provide backup power for critical facilities. The Ministry of Energy's increased oversight of outages is also a necessary measure to ensure stability during the ongoing crisis.
