Kyiv residents are asked to stay in the city, even if there is no heat, electricity, and water

Against the backdrop of the mayor’s words urging Kyiv residents to leave the city, a completely different opinion emerges: Kyiv cannot be left; it is necessary to stay and adapt to new, difficult conditions, said the head of the Desnyanskyi RDA, Maksym Bakhmatov, in an interview.

The situation in the current conditions is perceived not as a return to a comfortable life, but as a struggle to maintain the city and adapt to harsh realities. The enemy seeks to create a vacuum in the capital and sow panic, and they are counting on a mass exodus.

Unpleasant living conditions may become a new reality for many. Residents will have to put up with problems with the water supply, street toilets, and the lack of normal sewage systems. Those who believe they need to stay in the city are convinced they have no other option: they must hold out and adapt, using all available resources to survive the cold months, not allowing the city to empty.

The heating forecasts are also worrying. In Troyeshchyna, residents may not wait for full-fledged heat until the end of winter, and have already been informed of possible interruptions in hot water and the need to prepare for adverse sanitary conditions. Forecasters promise frosts of -20 degrees, which turns the issue of heating into a matter of survival.

Earlier, it was reported that February could be hit by abnormal weather, potentially leading to serious consequences such as snow and freezing rain. There were also forecasts that the situation in the coming weeks will be extremely difficult, which threatens the stable supply of electricity.
