With freezing temperatures setting in, residents of Kyiv and other cities are not only asking where to find heat, water and electricity but also wondering if they can stay in Ukraine.
KYIV, Ukraine — The electricity was out and the water service was cut off, and in an eighth-floor apartment in one of Kyiv’s outer neighborhoods, Olha Tkachuk felt like her world was coming apart.
In the meantime, stress is rising, including signs of tension among public officials responsible for making repairs, which are difficult, expensive, and, in some cases, impossible without scarce new equipment. As the damage from the missile strikes has grown more extensive, repairs are taking longer, and much of Ukraine is experiencing several hours per day without electricity.
The operation was a success. There was enough water still in the hospital’s tanks. And while the lack of heat lowered the temperature in the operating room and intensive care unit, Nikol was kept warm by a special heated mattress and operating table.The missile attack on Nov. 23 was one of the worst since Russian forces started to bombard Ukraine’s energy infrastructure in early October. When the barrage ended, almost all of Ukraine had been plunged into cold and darkness.
Without electricity, water pumps are unable to direct water to the population, Novytskyi said. The outages also hit Ukraine’s urban central heating systems in two ways — first by cutting off the water they use and second by disrupting electricity required to heat that water.
