As of today, the most difficult situation is in Kyiv and the region, in Kharkiv and the region, in Sumy, Poltava. It is also difficult in other regions of Central Ukraine, particularly in Dnipropetrovsk and Cherkasy regions.

"More than 1,100 apartment buildings in several districts of the capital are without heating, and for each such building there must be an answer regarding a clear deadline for restoring heat supply and guaranteed provision of heating and support opportunities for people," the President said.
Zaporizhzhia
"We discussed in detail the conditions for protecting Zaporizhzhia from drones, the supply of interceptor drones, and the availability of trained crews. There were separate instructions on this for the Commander of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Minister of Defense of Ukraine," Zelenskyy noted.
