Kiev restoring heating after massive Russian strikes: Mayor

Kyiv [Ukraine], January 18: Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko said on Saturday that district heating in the Ukrainian capital is gradually being restored after several days of outages.
About 50 high-rise buildings remain without heating, Klitschko wrote on Telegram. Following a massive Russian airstrike on January 9, district heating was initially cut to 6,000 residential buildings, about half of the housing stock.
"Municipal employees are working around the clock," Klitschko wrote. Kiev is experiencing a harsh winter with temperatures dropping as low as -16 degrees Celsius at night.
Systematic Russian attacks have caused widespread power and heating outages across the country.
The situation is particularly severe in Kiev, home to 3 million people, where authorities have implemented emergency power cuts in recent days. According to the utility company DTEK, another airstrike on the outskirts of Kiev in the early hours of Saturday caused 56,000 households in the suburb of Bucha to lose power.
