“In Kyiv, 300 high-rise buildings out of 6,000 remain without heating after the mass attack by the Russian Federation on January 9, Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko said. “Utility workers continue to repair critical infrastructure damaged by the enemy around the clock. The situation with energy supply, on which the provision of communal services depends, remains very difficult. Currently, Kyiv lives according to emergency schedules of power outages,” he wrote in a telegram. The mayor reminded that the critical infrastructure facilities in the city have been revived with powerful generators and mobile boiler houses, and the heating points of some large high-rise buildings, where there has been no heat and light for the sixth day, are connected to the generators. The day before, Klitschko stated that there were about 400 high-rise buildings without heating. Recently, a particularly difficult situation with energy supply has developed on the left bank of Kyiv and nearby areas of Kyiv region, where emergency shutdowns continue after the Russian attack on January 9, and the usual schedule can look like this – four hours with light, 12 hours without electricity. The mayor of Kyiv reported that this Russian attack was the most painful for the city’s critical infrastructure. According to the Ministry of Energy, on the morning of January 9, more than 500,000 consumers were cut off in Kyiv and the Kyiv region. After that, the forces of the Russian Federation again attacked the energy infrastructure of Ukraine, in particular, on the night of January 13. DTEK reported damage to its thermal power plant without specifying where it was located. On January 13, the Ministry of Energy announced that due to Russian attacks in Kyiv and the region, it is impossible to predict the transition to hourly schedules. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion in February 2022, Russia has been striking Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Since the beginning of the fall of 2025, Russian forces have intensified their attacks on the Ukrainian energy sector. According to the Ministry of Energy, as of December 12, the Russian military has attacked Ukraine’s energy infrastructure 4,500 times since the beginning of 2025.”, — write: www.radiosvoboda.org
