Jerusalem Post/Reuters: Kyiv mayor says 'apocalypse' scenario possible this winter, but urges no panic
Residents should be prepared, but there was presently no need to evacuate as conditions remained stable.
Kyiv's mayor warned on Wednesday of an "apocalypse" scenario for the Ukrainian capital this winter if Russian air strikes on infrastructure continue but said there was no need for residents to evacuate now, though they should be ready to do so.
"Kyiv might lose power, water, and heat supply. The apocalypse might happen, like in Hollywood films, when it's not possible to live in homes considering the low temperature," Mayor Vitali Klitschko told Reuters in an interview.

WNU Editor: The mayor is repeating what all my friends/contacts/and my one familiy member who made the decision to stay in Kyiv are saying. There is not enough heated shelters to take in all 3.6 million residents of the city and surrounding regions.
As to the mayor urging everyone not to panic. Sighhh .... if I was stuck in Kyiv right now I would be panicking.
Ukraine needs to be given damn busting cruise missiles. Misery loves company. The Russians should not complain. If they dish it, they should be able to take it.
ReplyDeleteRight, Because every country that's attacked back doesn't escalate even further.
DeleteShould’ve negotiated with their neighbour instead of playing the puppet of of NATO. The Ukrainians are paying for the bad decisions that have been made. Good for them,
ReplyDeleteWhen you are attacked, you ATTACK BACK!
ReplyDeleteYou ATTACK BACK until the instigator in this case Russia can no longer attack
Get real
DeleteKlitschko again shows himself the responsible leader, concerned for his citizens.
ReplyDeleteI luv the 3rd shift fuckers.
ReplyDeleteThis guy is spot on. He was criticized by zelinski for telling people to leave. He kept up this call in the face of Ukie Fed gov criticism..
ReplyDeleteIn Ukraine, on tis subject..he is a voice of reality ...crying in the wilderness.
With the Ukie national Gov, all we get is platitudes, bs reports and requests for more money.
Which as n American...the Ukies don't need more money when it disappears into corrupt pockets
