Winter came early to Kiev... Russian missiles cut the electricity

In the capital Kiev, which has been the target of ballistic missiles every day for more than a month, the electricity, water, natural gas infrastructure and metro system were disabled for hours the previous day.

"A very, very difficult winter awaits us," said Kiev Mayor Vitaliy Klichko, emphasizing that Russian attacks systematically target the city's infrastructure.

Stating that the electricity was cut off in most of Kiev after a thermal power plant was hit in the attack that took place the night before, Klitschko noted that water was not supplied to four districts and the metros were completely disabled for four hours.

Stating that the metro lines were operating at one-third capacity after the works, Klicko warned that it would be impossible to maintain a normal life in the capital during the winter months.

The Mayor called on elderly people and families with children to move to their relatives and friends in villages and towns outside Kiev without waiting for the winter months.

Klitschko added, "Of course, I am not calling for all of us to evacuate Kiev. If we evacuate Kiev completely, we will do what the Russians want and present the capital to Putin on a platter."
