The day before, the mayor of the capital Vitaliy Klitschko stated that about 400 high-rise buildings remain without heating. According to him, the most difficult situation since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Russia continues in Kyiv due to the damage to the infrastructure caused by Russian strikes.
Earlier, the Ministry of Energy stated 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 industry. 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.
