Mayor Vitaly Klitschko also stated that the situation with electricity supply in the city remains “extremely difficult”. According to him, heat has already been returned to most houses, but almost 500 high-rise buildings are still without heat supply – utility workers continue to work.
After another Russian attack on January 13, DTEK reported damage to its thermal power plant.
