Parents are alarmed on social media by the "closing of the kindergartens" in Kiev in winter: The management of the kindergartens in Kiev has started asking parents not to take their children in winter due to a lack of light, heat and water. "One of the Kiev kindergartens is already urging parents not to take their children in the winter if possible, because it will be very cold and there may be no light and water. Some institutions already have a notice in which parents are asked to leave their children at home if possible during the winter. Rada deputies continue to urge other citizens to prepare for a harsh winter, to leave Kyiv and buy firewood, and the adviser to the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Sergey Baskarstanov advised other citizens to buy generators, batteries and create gasoline reserves before the winter."
