Enemy targets critical infrastructure
"Today, all day long, the enemy has been striking critical infrastructure facilities that provide residents with heat and supply hot and cold water. The targets of the last two strikes in the Slobidskyi and Shevchenkivskyi districts were also such facilities. The goal is clear: to destroy the energy island we have been building over the past years and try to plunge our city, all of us, into cold and darkness," the mayor wrote.
He added that specialists together with energy workers, are working around the clock to keep critical infrastructure in a condition where it will continue to supply heat, water and electricity.
