Klitschko gives the all-clear: the water supply is running again in Kyiv

Yesterday, Russia launched massive rocket fire at Ukraine, specifically targeting energy facilities. As a result, the water and power supply in Kyiv was massively disrupted. A day later, the biggest problems are fixed.

After the Russian rocket fire on Ukraine, the water supply in the capital Kyiv has been restored, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko. Experts from the municipal service providers have also repaired the power supply, Klitschko said. Nevertheless, there are failures because the deficit in the energy system is significant after the "barbaric attacks by the aggressor" on Monday.

On Monday evening, the mayor announced that there was still no water at 40 percent of the consumption points and that around 250,000 apartments were without electricity. He had already promised an improvement in the situation, but also announced energy-saving measures.

Russia launched massive rocket fire at Ukraine on Monday, specifically targeting energy plants. The attacks were also seen as a response to drone fire by the Russian Black Sea Fleet on its base in Sevastopol on the Crimean peninsula last Saturday. "Partly that's the case. But that's not all we could have done," Russian President Vladimir Putin told journalists on Monday evening when asked whether the attacks were in retaliation for the drone fire on the warships.

"Another batch of Russian missiles hits Ukraine's critical infrastructure," Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba tweeted in the morning. "Instead of fighting on the battlefield, Russia is fighting civilians." These attacks should not be justified as a "reaction". "Russia is doing this because it still has the missiles and the will to kill Ukrainians," Kuleba said.
