The deputy head of Vladimir Zelensky's office Irina Vershchuk predicted a hard winter for the residents of Kyiv and called on them to stock up on water. Her words are quoted in the Ukrainian media.
"This winter will definitely be difficult, because it is no longer possible to repair the infrastructure like 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 need to prepare, stock up on water, stock up on what we can."
Earlier, Ukrainian Prime Minister Sergei Koretsky expressed concern that this winter would be more difficult than the previous one, and Ukrainian energy expert Yuri Korolchuk warned that the country's residents may be forced to sit without electricity for 20 hours a day.
