Kyiv’s mayor called on residents Friday to leave the city temporarily to find warmth as Russian strikes left half of the Ukrainian capital’s buildings without heating in -8C, with temperatures expected to dip further.
“Half of Kyiv’s apartment buildings — nearly 6,000 — are currently without heat due to damage to the capital’s critical infrastructure caused by a massive enemy attack,” Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko said on social media.
“I also appeal to residents of the capital who have the opportunity to temporarily leave the city for places with alternative sources of power and heat to do so,” he added.
