Deputy Head of the Ukrainian President’s Office Iryna Vereshchuk has urged the country’s population to be prepared for a difficult winter ahead.
Vereshchuk said this while speaking at the Comprehensive Defence Forum, Globalinfo.az reports. She particularly advised Kyiv residents to stock up on water and other essential goods in advance.
According to her, as a result of Russian strikes on energy and other critical infrastructure, some facilities can no longer be restored as quickly as in previous years.
“This winter will certainly be difficult. Because, as a result of the enemy’s targeted attacks on infrastructure, restoring the damaged facilities the way it was done last winter is no longer possible. Will it be difficult for Kyiv residents? Yes, it will be difficult. That is why we must prepare. And peace in the near future does not look convincing,” Vereshchuk said.
Addressing the capital’s residents, she advised them to stock up on water and other essential supplies where possible, and to support isolated people nearby who need help.
