thousand Kyiv apartments without heating

More than 1,000 apartment buildings in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv are still without heating following a devastating Russian attack early on Friday.



Russia has intensified bombardments of Ukraine's energy system since it invaded its neighbour in 2022.



President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said work was proceeding in localities affected ⁠by the attacks, noting that the situation was "still extremely difficult", particularly in border regions.



Zelenskiy said 200 emergency crews were conducting repairs in the Kyiv region surrounding the capital.



Russia had launched 1,100 drones, more than 890 guided aerial bombs and over 50 missiles, including ballistic, cruise and medium-range weapons, against Ukraine over the past week.



On Friday, a missile strike on Kyiv left virtually the entire city without ⁠power and heating amid a sharp cold snap, and it was not until Sunday that authorities restored water supplies and partially restored electricity and heating.
