Kyiv reconnects 150 buildings to heating grid as 378 remain in cold

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported that 378 apartment buildings in the capital remain without heat as of January 30, with most of them located in the Desnyanskyi district.

Russia's intensified missile and drone strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure have severely damaged power grids and heating systems in Kyiv, causing widespread outages during the harsh winter.

"Over the past 24 hours, we connected more than 100 buildings to heating on Troieshchyna. During the night, another 50," Klitschko said.

The majority of affected buildings are concentrated on Troieshchyna, with additional buildings in several other districts experiencing service interruptions. Utility workers and energy crews continue efforts across the city to restore heat supply to residents' homes, the mayor said.

The figure represents a decrease from 454 residential buildings without heating as of the evening of 29 January.

Minister of Regional Development Oleksiy Kuleba said that electricity has been restored in residential buildings still lacking heating. Where possible, power remains on to compensate residents for the absence of heat, according to Kuleba.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has issued instructions regarding how Kyiv residents will be billed and charged for heating services in January.

Separately, DTEK introduced temporary scheduled power outages starting at midnight on 29 January, replacing emergency blackouts that had lasted over two weeks following Russian strikes. The schedules will be individualized for each building and subject to adjustment based on the country's energy situation.
