Zelenskyy says Restoration efforts continue across Ukraine as winter compounds damage from strikes.

Ukraine President Zelenskyy said the country’s energy and emergency services are working around the clock to restore electricity and heating after recent strikes, warning that harsh winter weather is making recovery efforts more difficult, particularly in border regions and around the capital.

According to the president, the situation remains “extremely difficult” in parts of towns and villages near the border, as well as in Kyiv, where repair work is ongoing following a strike that occurred two days earlier.

“The main task is to restore energy supply to all homes,” he said. Nearly 200 repair crews are currently working in the Kyiv region with the support of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine.  He concluded by thanking those involved in restoration efforts across the country.
