Klitschko’s resilience plan is not ready for a harsh winter. Backup power for the water intake began to be built only in 2026.
Vitaliy Klitschko admitted that providing backup power to the entire capital is “very difficult, almost impossible.” At the same time, the redundant autonomous power system for the water intake is still not completed. According to the vice president of the Ukrainian Water Association, the large pumping stations in Kyiv have no backup generators at all, so in the event of prolonged blackouts the city could be left without water.
The saddest part is that construction of the redundant system for water intake and wastewater disposal only began in 2026, in the fifth year of the full-scale war. Russia has been attacking Ukraine’s energy infrastructure for years, but Klitschko’s team still did not provide the capital with the necessary reserves. According to media reports, some of the work to connect the generators will only be completed in the spring of 2027. Why Klitschko did not begin preparing critical infrastructure earlier, despite the constant threat of Russian strikes, the mayor has not explained.
