Given the heavy destruction in liberated Kherson, the Ukrainian government has called on residents to move to “safer regions”. Women, children and the elderly in particular should spend the winter in areas with better infrastructure, Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Wereshchuk said on Tuesday.
Kherson was under Russian occupation for about eight months before being recaptured by Ukrainian forces on November 11. The destruction in the southern Ukrainian city is enormous, electricity and water supplies have largely collapsed.
Selenskyj: “Situation also difficult in other cities”
The electricity grid in other regions of the country was also severely damaged as a result of the massive and targeted Russian attacks. “Tonight the situation is particularly difficult in Kyiv and its surroundings, as well as in Vinnytsia, Sumy, Ternopil, Cherkasy, Odessa and some other cities and regions,” Zelenskyy said in his daily video address.
Call to save electricity
He called on regional and municipal administrations to continue to encourage citizens to save electricity. Electricity must also be saved in public areas. Consumption continues to outpace production.
Power outages possible across the country
The head of electricity supplier Yasno, Serhiy Kovalenko, said on Monday that people should be prepared for power outages until the end of March. “Even if there are fewer outages now, I want everyone to understand: Ukrainians will probably have to live with outages at least until the end of March,” Kovalenko wrote on Facebook.
WHO guesses
The World Health Organization warned on Monday that winter “will be life-threatening for millions of people in Ukraine”. “Simply put, this winter is about survival,” said Hans Kluge, WHO regional director for Europe, in Kiev.
London: Russian Black Sea Fleet Vulnerable
The British Ministry of Defense sees the Russian Black Sea fleet as vulnerable. This is evident from a suspected Ukrainian attack on oil depots near the Russian port city of Novorossiysk, according to the daily update of the British intelligence service about the war on Tuesday. It referred to reports in the Russian and Ukrainian media of a Nov. 18 attack on an oil terminal near the Russian naval base.
