Kyiv Chilled as Missiles Surge

Russian missile strikes have left Ukraine’s parliament building and roughly half of Kyiv without heating, plunging officials and residents into the cold. President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that Moscow is now deploying far more ballistic missiles than before, intensifying the assault on the capital’s infrastructure. The surge in high‑velocity weapons has crippled power supplies, forcing schools and hospitals to scramble for backup heat as winter looms.

Cold homes and disrupted services strain civilians, hampering daily life and emergency response across Kyiv.

The heating outage underscores how intensified missile attacks are turning everyday life into a survival challenge, reminding the world of the conflict’s civilian toll and the urgency for international aid.
