After the Russian Federation's massive nighttime attack on Kyiv's critical infrastructure, more than 1,100 multi-story buildings in the Dnipro and Darnytsia districts remain without heating.
This was announced by the city mayor Vitaliy Klitschko.
According to him, the infrastructure facility that provides heat to these houses was severely damaged as a result of shelling on the night of February 3. Experts are assessing the extent of its damage and the prospects for restoration.
“In these more than 1,100 houses, the water in the heating systems was drained in the morning to avoid defrosting,” Klitschko announced.
Additional heating support points are being deployed in schools in neighborhoods whose buildings are left without heating. Also, in Darnytskyi district, five additional heating support points have been connected to mobile boiler houses, and in Dnipro district – four. Such points will be available day and night, Klitschko wrote in Telegram.
The State Emergency Service is also deploying 36 heating points in Darnytsia (at 20 locations), and 27 points in the Dniprovskyi district (also at 20 locations). The addresses can be found on the official portal of Kyiv, as well as on the official resources of the Regional State Administration and the State Emergency Service.
