According to him, during the curfew it is now allowed to:
- on foot or by private transport, including a taxi, to go to points of inviolability or home,
- this also applies to people returning from late-arriving trains at night.
“The curfew is not canceled, but there are necessary exceptions for people,” Tkachenko said.
Tkachenko specified that the points of invincibility can now work around the clock. These are both municipal locations and responsible business establishments that are ready to provide heat, electricity, communication, water and hot tea. At the same time, security measures and patrols are being strengthened in the city.
When moving at night, you must have with you:
- an identity document,
- conscripts – military registration documents.
“Security remains a priority, all decisions are implemented under the control of the security forces,” the city authorities emphasize.
Earlier, the Minister of Energy of Ukraine, Denys Shmyhal, announced that it will be possible to get to the heating points in Kyiv and the Kyiv region, as well as the rest of the regions affected by the Russian strikes and frosty weather 24 hours a day – regardless of the curfew, which lasts from midnight to 5:00.
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.
The Security Service of Ukraine qualifies Russia’s strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure as crimes against humanity. The SBU noted that since the beginning of this year’s heating season, it has documented 256 air attacks by the Russian Federation on energy facilities and heat supply systems of Ukraine.
Recently, a particularly difficult situation with energy and heat supply has developed in Kyiv and the suburbs, where emergency shutdowns continue after the Russian strike on January 9. Kyiv Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko said that this Russian attack was the most painful for the city’s critical infrastructure, and the situation is the most difficult in four years.
