Ukraine is bracing for fresh Russian attacks on its infrastructure, President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday, after Kyiv’s mayor urged residents to prepare for a worst-case scenario by making emergency plans to leave town and stay with friends or family.
The country faced a 32 percent deficit in projected power supply Monday, Sergei Kovalenko, CEO of YASNO, a major supplier of energy to the capital, said on his Facebook page.
The warnings followed remarks by Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko urging residents to “consider everything” including a worst-case scenario where the capital loses power and water. Mr. Zelensky said in his nightly video address that more than 4.5 million consumers were already without power.
