In Kyiv, the struggle to bring back heat and electricity continues. This comes after Russia's recent strikes on energy sites. It's been over three days since the attacks, and many people are still in the cold. President Zelenskiy has a warning. He says Russia might launch more attacks soon. He wants everyone to be ready for air raids. Nighttime temperatures are dropping to minus 15 degrees Celsius. That's really cold! Officials say most buildings now have heat. But there are still some without. People are going to places called "resilience points. " These are spots where they can warm up and charge their phones.
Russia has been targeting Ukraine's energy system for a while. The attacks have been getting worse lately. Zelenskiy is starting a new plan. It will give extra pay and support to emergency workers. These workers are risking their lives to fix things. In Kyiv, some people are still without power. Kateryna Zubko is one of them. She's an engineer who hasn't had heat, water, or electricity since the last attack. She says Ukrainians are strong. She believes the war will end one day.
