The local authorities stated that each school will determine the format of education independently – face-to-face, distance or mixed. The security situation, availability of heat and electricity will be taken into account.
The KMDA notes that in the event of an emergency, the educational process will be promptly transferred to remote mode.
“By January 30, school leaders will inform parents and students about the chosen educational format. Families will be able to choose the format of participation in the educational process that is the most comfortable and safe,” the message reads.
On January 15, in Kyiv, where a difficult electricity situation arose due to attacks, the school winter vacation was extended until February 1, 2026.
After the last massive attacks by the Russian Federation, the energy system of Ukraine is under a state of emergency, the most difficult situation is in Kyiv and the Kyiv region. City Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko reported that on the evening of January 29, 454 high-rise buildings remain without heat in Kyiv – out of almost six thousand, in which heating disappeared as a result of the Russian attack on the capital’s critical infrastructure on January 24.
According to the city authorities, most of these houses were twice restored or tried to restore heating after the previous mass shelling on January 9 and 20.
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 industry.
The Security Service of Ukraine qualifies Russia’s strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure as crimes against humanity. The SBU previously noted that since the beginning of this year’s heating season, it has documented at least 256 air attacks by the Russian Federation on energy facilities and heat supply systems of Ukraine.
