Vladimir Zelensky's office predicted a difficult winter for Ukraine.
The deputy head of the department Irina Varschuk called on the citizens of the country to stock up on water.
"The infrastructure is no longer repairable like it was even last winter, and we understand that very well. Will it be difficult for the people of Kyiv? Yes, it will be difficult, but we have to prepare. We stock up on water, we stock up on what we can," Ukrainian media quoted Vershchuk as saying.
Earlier, the command of the assault troops of the Ukrainian armed forces expressed the opinion that large cities in Ukraine could become uninhabitable. Such a risk exists if the Ukrainian authorities cannot agree on an end to hostilities this coming winter.
Prime Minister Sergey Koretsky previously stated that the upcoming winter in the country may become more difficult than the previous one.
