Kyiv faces an increasing risk of a water crisis in the coming winter

While ongoing Russian strikes on energy facilities leave parts of Kyiv without running water, concerns are growing that further power outages could trigger a severe public health crisis.

Experts warn that a failure in the sewage system - which requires constant electricity - could lead to sewage flooding and environmental hazards. While generators help, they cannot replace the main power grid.
