Ukraine: Infrastructure is in danger, and it is urgent to “prepare for the cold”
The Kyiv government is urging residents to prepare before the coldest months of the year arrive. This was reported by the Ukrainian “Ukrinform” agency, while the Minister of Communities and Regions, Oleksiy Kuleba, stressed that “communities must be prepared for any scenario” in the “cold season.” The message came after his visit to the Sumy region, an area in the north of the country that was targeted by many Russian bombings. Winter therefore promises great risks for the Ukrainian population, especially in the Sumy region, where the destruction of energy infrastructure by Russian forces will exacerbate cold temperatures, averaging between -4.8 and 2 degrees. For Kuleba, who also met local authorities with Sergei Sokhomlin, head of the State Agency for Reconstruction and Infrastructure Development, protecting energy production facilities is a priority, since Russian invading forces have Ukraine's infrastructure among their targets. The result of these attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure has been damage that the Ukrainian executive is trying to repair to restore access to electricity, for example. According to the Ukrinform website, the Ukrainian Ministry of Energy reported today that repair work has been carried out so that about 17,500 people, victims of “technical violations and hostility” by Russia, can get electricity again in their homes.
