Emergency power cuts have been introduced in Kyiv after recent Russian attacks damaged facilities in the regional energy network, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said on Tuesday. He described the city’s electricity supply situation as extremely difficult and said the national power company, Ukrenergo, had imposed the cuts.
Klitschko said the attacks had also disrupted water distribution and electric public transport in the capital. He accused Russia of continuing to target Ukrainian infrastructure.
Heating points are being set up in the worst-affected districts, the mayor said. Residents will be able to charge their phones and have a hot drink there.
