Kyiv's infrastructure under critical strain: Mayor
Kyiv's infrastructure could collapse at any second as Russia's sporadic missile attacks along with freezing winter temperatures put local authorities under increasing strain, the city's mayor Vitali Klitschko told Reuters.
"It's pretty cold in Ukraine right now so living without electricity and heating is almost impossible. The situation is critical. We are fighting to survive," he told Reuters.
Klitschko, who is attending World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos, pleaded with allies to speed up deliveries of air defense systems.
"We don't talk about the collapse, but it can happen ... at any second (because) Russian rockets can destroy our critical infrastructure in Kyiv," he said.
