Large-scale emergency repair and restoration works are underway across the city at key civilian facilities damaged by Russian attacks. The situation remains difficult due to the extent of destruction and adverse weather conditions.
The maximum number of State Emergency Service (SES) units has been deployed, reinforced by specialists from other regions, including high-angle rescue teams and the special “Delta” unit. In total, more than 600 rescuers are working at the damaged sites.
Despite physical exhaustion and temperatures of –10°C, the units are operating in shifts to restore infrastructure as quickly as possible. During operations at one of the facilities, a rescuer born in 1994 was killed.
At the same time, the city is expanding its network of assistance for residents. Currently, 91 heating points are operating around the clock in Kyiv, 71 of them on the left bank of the city.
In one neighborhood with a population of about 14,000, the deployment of two additional large tents has begun. Each of these facilities can accommodate at least 300 people. Residents can warm up, charge their devices, and receive medical and psychological assistance there.
Thanks to cooperation with World Central Kitchen and the Red Cross, residents are being provided with hot meals. To maintain public order in areas with more challenging conditions, the police presence has been doubled.
Despite constant pressure from the occupiers and ongoing strikes on infrastructure, the city continues to function, and all services are working in coordination until the consequences of Russian terror are fully eliminated.
