Kyiv is developing a backup heating network with approximately 1,600 megawatts of thermal capacity as Russia intensifies attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, city officials said on October 9. The Ukrainian capital has also installed 700 generators to support water and heating systems, although major pumping stations still require larger power sources.

Russia is preparing a new wave of massive attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure, logistics and water supply systems in an effort to create severe water problems for individual territorial communities, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told journalists on Monday, according to hromadske’s correspondent.
