Vitaly Klitschko has reiterated his appeal for residents with alternative accommodation to temporarily leave the Ukrainian capital amid an energy crisis.
Kiev Mayor Vitaly Klitschko has urged residents to leave the city if they have the opportunity, citing a severe electricity crisis, widespread heating outages and mounting strain on infrastructure as freezing temperatures grip the Ukrainian capital.
Speaking to Reuters on Friday, Klitschko said the shortages followed waves of Russian strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Moscow has said it targeted drone production facilities, energy infrastructure and other military‑related sites in response to Ukrainian strikes on Russian power facilities, as well as what it described as indiscriminate attacks on civilians.
“It’s the first time in the history of our city that, in such severe frosts, most of the city was left without heating and with a huge shortage of electricity,” Klitschko said, reiterating his appeal for residents who can relocate temporarily to do so. He noted that sub‑zero temperatures had sharply increased demand while limiting the ability of utility crews to carry out rapid repairs.
Critics have condemned the appeal, arguing that many residents have nowhere else to go and that the call reflects a lack of preparedness by local authorities to manage the crisis in a city of roughly three million people.
Klitschko said households have gone without mains electricity for up to 20 hours a day, while heating was cut to about 6,000 apartment buildings. Overnight temperatures have been falling to around minus 17 degrees Celsius, compounding the strain on the city’s energy system. Ukraine declared a nationwide energy emergency this week.
The country’s electricity system has suffered cumulative damage since 2022, with vulnerabilities compounded by aging Soviet‑era infrastructure and mismanagement.
The power shortages have fueled the latest public spat between Klitschko and Vladimir Zelensky. Earlier this week, Zelensky said Kiev was lagging behind other cities in responding to the energy crisis, stating in a public address that “little was done in the capital” and that urgent decisions were required.
Klitschko rejected the criticism as unfounded, saying he was being targeted with what he described as “total hatred” after warning residents about the severity of the situation. He insisted city services were working around the clock to restore power and heating as quickly as possible.

Larry Johnson who was in Kiev for a time commented on this
The fact that residents will now have to carry water up possibly 20 + flights of stairs
Basic essentials and food
Which is physically demanding even for the young and fit
Toilets that rely on water pumped up to flush toilets
People urinating in stair wells or worse which will soon morph into a health crisis
And saying that anybody with a dacha outside Kiev to take this opportunity to leave to where at least they may survive
I sincerely hope anybody in NZ with intelligence on life support and failing Who supports this folly into insanity and futile military adventurism dubbed the proxy war on Ukraine has a good day which extends to the highest echelons
Here’s what should REALLY happen;
‘Kiev Mayor urges Zelensky to either turn himself in to the UCJ for crimes against humanity, or flee to Israel where most J3wi$h paedophines run to in order to escape prosecutions in their home countries.

Noteworthy was that Rabbi Schneerson called for a war between the Ukraine (Khazaria) and Russia.
This is why the current J3wi$h Zionist ‘Dick’tator of the Ukraine was shooed-in to do that particular task, since the formerJ3wi$h Ukrainian President that was appointed into the Ukrainian Presidency by J3w3$$ Victoria Nuland (aka Nudelman) in 2014 wasn’t doing the job fast enough in murdering / attacking / shelling / sniping at the 10,000 ethnic Russian living in the eastern Oblasts of the Donbass Region!
Here’s the historical aspects of what transpired in the Ukraine before Vivtoria Nuland’s famous intercepted phone call;

And here’s that phone call..!

J3w$ have always hated Russians, as noted in the writings of Aleksander Solzhenytsyn and historical documents confirming Genocide, Holodomor and mass murders in the GULAGs which were run by J3w$!!

Britain has always hated Russia
And goes back to the Crimean War
And the Charge of the Light Brigade
It commemorates a real chapter in the Crimean War (1854) when a British cavalry unit was mistakenly ordered to charge directly into Russian artillery
An eloquent way a of framing a fu*kup
As some sort of military victory and prowess enshrined in infamy
Which reminds me of of Exercise Tiger — the D‑Day rehearsal at Slapton Sands Devon that turned into a deadly monumental disaster
Communication failures during the exercise led to friendly‑fire casualties when live ammunition was used
