Millions of Ukrainians are without regular access to heat, electricity and water in sub-freezing temperatures
KYIV, Ukraine — When Russian forces launched a military campaign against infrastructure in Ukraine nearly two months ago, they opened a front that carried the war along power lines, water mains and heating systems to homes, schools, offices and churches.
Strikes that disable deliveries of gas cut off the flames for furnaces and stoves. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko advised the capital’s residents to consider moving temporarily to rural areas, where basics like wood to burn for heat are more plentiful. “In the neighboring countries around Ukraine, it’s already not available, so we bring it from much farther at this point,” he said.
The European Union last month said it had made available 523 million euros for humanitarian aid for Ukraine, and the United States has pledged $1.2 billion to an appeal by the U.N. humanitarian coordination agency.
