Zelenskyi: there are still 926 houses without heating on the left bank of Kyiv

There are still 926 high-rise buildings without heating in Kyiv after the Russian strikes – in several districts on the left bank of the capital of Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced on January 27 following the results of a meeting with government officials.

“The situation in Kyiv was analyzed separately. As of this morning, 926 houses in several districts on the left bank of the capital are still without heating. The Department of Energy and the Department of the Interior are recruiting additional generators. Reserves from all over Ukraine are deployed to help the capital,” he wrote in a telegram. There are currently no forecasts for the restoration of heat supply.

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.

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. The day before, it was reported about more than 1,200 high-rise buildings 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.

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.
