Attacks by the RF on Kyiv: latest news
Earlier, UNIAN reported that The New York Times notes that power and water outages, destroyed houses, and the constant threat of new strikes have turned daily life for Kyiv residents into a struggle for survival. The article adds that Moscow is attempting to deprive Kyiv of normal living conditions, force people to leave the city, and push Ukraine toward capitulation. In addition, on the eve of winter, Russia threatens to destroy urban infrastructure—electricity, heating, and water supply.
We also wrote that Oleksii Kucherenco, First Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Energy and Housing-and-Communal Services, acknowledged that the intensity and accuracy of both Russian drones and missiles used against the capital have increased. Therefore, he does not rule out problems in the capital this winter with heating, electricity, and water. Kucherenco shared that the enemy has already damaged equipment at one of the substations with a ballistic missile. He added that it would not have been a catastrophe if there were time and equipment to replace it, but there is no time, and reserves are not abundant.
