Tension between Zelensky and Klitschko. Coldness and darkness in Kyiv
Kyiv faces severe challenges with prolonged power and water outages, attributed to inadequate preparations for the heating season and Russian attacks on the energy sector. President Zelensky announced government support, including equipment supplies from Germany and Spain. Mayor Vitali Klitschko stated that an energy task force has been established to address the situation, but protests have erupted demanding his resignation due to perceived failures in emergency preparedness and corruption allegations. The energy crisis has led to emergency power cuts, with some areas receiving electricity for only a few hours daily, affecting public transport operations.
