Kiev mayor Vitali Klitschko expects a dramatic winter for the Ukrainian capital, which has about three million inhabitants, because of the power outage. The Ukrainian government is still trying to prevent this – President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced the creation of 4,000 heating chambers in the country.
“This is the worst winter since World War II,” he told the newspaper “Bild” (Wednesday). One should therefore be prepared for the “worst case scenario” of widespread power outages at low temperatures: “Then parts of the city would have to be evacuated,” he said. “But we don’t want it to get that far!”
Putin wants to terrorize the people
The ex-world boxing champion accused Russian head of state Vladimir Putin of trying to force Ukrainians to flee Kiev by attacking civilian infrastructure. “Putin wants to terrorize people, freeze them without light.” For example, pressure must be exerted on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
“But that’s not going to happen. My impression is that people are just getting angrier, more determined. We won’t die or run like Putin wants,” Klitschko said. He asked Germany to urgently supply generators, protective gear and humanitarian supplies in addition to defense weapons to send.
Zelenskyj announces “stability points”.
Zelensky himself announced on Tuesday that more than 4,000 heating chambers would be set up for the population of the attacked country, which was plagued by cold and darkness. “All basic services are provided there,” he said in his evening video address on Tuesday. “This includes electricity, mobile communication and internet, heat, water, first aid. Completely free and 24/7.”
Specifically, facilities in administration buildings or schools should be used as “stability points”. The official name on a government website also translates to “points of steadfastness.” “I’m sure if we help each other, we’ll get through this winter together,” he said.
