“The city is forced to prepare for the ‘worst case scenario’, extensive power outages and very low temperatures, even for the evacuation of part of the population,” Vitali Klitschko said in statements to the German newspaper Bild.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko has predicted that the roughly 3 million residents of the Ukrainian capital face a very difficult winter due to damage to energy infrastructure from Russian bombing.
In his statements to the German tabloid Bild, published today, he said that “this is the worst winter since World War II”.
“The city is forced to prepare for the ‘worst case scenario’, widespread power outages and very low temperatures, even for the evacuation of part of the population,” Mr Klitschko said, hastening to add “but we don’t want to get there”. .
Vitali Klitschko has accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of trying to force Kiev residents to leave the city by bombing infrastructure.
Mr Putin is “trying to terrorize the world, make it freeze, without light” to put his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky under pressure, the mayor of Kiev said. “But nothing like that will happen. My impression is that people will become angrier, more determined. We will not die, nor will we put it to rest as Putin wants,” he insisted.
He also asked Germany to send as soon as possible generators, protective clothing and various items of a humanitarian nature, in addition to weapons and ammunition.
