As Kyiv faces prolonged blackouts and subzero temperatures, officials and energy experts warn that the city’s infrastructure is nearing its limits. Although the number of buildings without heat has decreased since the Jan. 9 mass missile and drone attack, the broader impact of the crisis on daily life is only deepening.

According to Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko, about 800 residential buildings in the capital remain without heating as of Jan. 12 — a significant drop from the 6,000 buildings left in the cold following a massive overnight assault on Jan. 9 that targeted critical infrastructure and killed at least four people.
