Nearly half of Kyiv residents were still without electricity as engineers battled to restore services two days after Russian strikes hammered the country's energy grid.
Throughout the country, Russian air strikes over recent weeks have brought Ukraine's energy infrastructure to its knees as winter approaches and temperatures approach freezing, spurring fears of a health crisis and a further exodus.
A total of"15 residents were killed and 35 injured, including one child, as a result of enemy shelling", city official Galyna Lugova said. Several"private houses and high-rise buildings" had been damaged, she added. In Kyiv, where around half of residents were still without power two days after Russian strikes hammered the country's energy grid, engineers worked to restore services."We have to endure this winter, a winter that everyone will remember," Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky said on social media, as UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly visited to announce a new aid package.
But Shmygal said ordinary consumers continued to face scheduled power cuts across every region of the country. He said a lot of news reports about the conflict could not be trusted, describing them as"fake news, deceit and lies".Kremlin critics accuse authorities of concealing the real number of dead and wounded Russian troops.
Putin's meeting with the soldiers' mothers is a sign the Kremlin takes the growing malaise seriously.
