Attack on Kyiv: Troyeshchyna left without all utilities

An attack on critical infrastructure in Kyiv’s Desnyanskyi district on January 24 led to serious problems with utilities. The hardest hit were residents of the Troyeshchyna neighborhood, where about 600 homes were left without all utilities, including heat, water, and electricity. The city government is taking measures to support the population in the emergency situation.

Vitaliy Klitschko, Kyiv’s chairman, noted that the situation in Troyeshchyna is the most difficult. He emphasized that “another Russian attack on Kyiv” is aimed at leaving the capital and Kyiv residents in the cold, without water and electricity. Klitschko also reported that utility and energy workers are working tirelessly to restore service delivery, and urged residents to inform the Department of Social Protection of the Kyiv Regional Military Administration about lonely neighbors.

To support residents in Troyeshchyna, the city authorities are deploying additional heating support points, which are being set up on the basis of five schools in the district. The heating points are equipped with: mobile boiler rooms, food supplies, and sleeping bags so that people can stay in them both day and night. Social workers are also coordinating the resettlement of people in need of outside care, and providing them with hot meals and medical care.

Emergency teams of power engineers and specialists from Kyivteploenergo are working at the sites of damage. Vitaliy Klitschko expressed hope that all efforts will be directed at overcoming this difficult situation, and called on Kyiv residents to unite in difficult times.

The attack on Kyiv’s critical infrastructure highlights the city’s vulnerability to external threats and the impact on the daily lives of its residents. The measures taken by the city authorities, such as the creation of heating points and the organization of social support, demonstrate efforts to counter the crisis. In the context of a protracted war, it is important for a community to remain united and support each other in difficult times.
