Kyiv authorities have restored heating to 1,500 residential buildings following a large-scale Russian attack on the capital’s infrastructure on 12 February, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said on 15 February.
In an update published on Telegram, Klitschko reported that over the past 24 hours heating had been reconnected to another 1,100 multi-storey buildings.
2,600 buildings affected across four districts
In total, 2,600 buildings were left without heat after the strike damaged critical infrastructure facilities across the city.
According to the mayor, municipal services are working around the clock to resume heat supply to the remaining apartment blocks.
The 12 February attack targeted infrastructure sites on both the left and right banks of Kyiv. Residential buildings in the Desnianskyi, Dniprovskyi, Pecherskyi, and Solomianskyi districts were affected.
Darnytska thermal plant damage blocks full recovery
Klitschko previously said that more than 1,100 high-rise buildings in the Dniprovskyi and Darnytskyi districts had also remained without heating after earlier strikes.
He noted that due to severe damage to the Darnytska thermal power plant, it is currently impossible to restore heat supply to those areas.
