Millions still without power
“Problems with the heating, big problems with the water supply remain,” Zelensky said. Accordingly, millions of people are still affected by power outages and other restrictions. The situation is most difficult in the city of Kyiv and in the region, but also in Vinnytsia and its surroundings and in Lviv. There are also power outages in other regions such as Odessa, Poltava and Dnipropetrovsk.
More than 70 rocket attacks on Friday
Ukraine spoke of more than 70 rocket attacks on Friday, most of which were intercepted by air defenses. As a result of the hits and damage, the power and water supply failed once more in many regions. In the capital Kyiv and in the Kharkiv region, among others, the authorities reported progress in restoring the supply. In the Kiev region it was said that 50 percent of households still had no electricity.
Kiev’s Mayor Vitali Klitschko had previously announced that the water supply in the metropolis had been restored. In three quarters of the households, the heating is also working once more. However, there were still problems with the power supply.
