Ukraine capital could face winter of no heat, water as Russia attacks energy grid
Ukraine’s capital city may face a long winter without heat, electricity or water that could force Kyiv residents to flee if Russia keeps up its attacks on Ukraine’s energy grid, officials warned.
“But let’s be frank, our enemies are doing everything for the city to be without heat, without electricity, without water supply, in general, so we all die,” Klitschko said. “And the future of the country and the future of each of us depends on how prepared we are for different situations.” The former heavyweight boxing champ noted at least 1,000 heating shelters are being set up and officials were stockpiling fuel, food and water.Kyiv’s Director of Security Roman Tkachuk backed up Klitschko’s statements in posts to the messaging app Telegram, but insisted “there are no reason to talk about the evacuation at the moment,” the BBC reported.
