1 min read

“Another Russian strike damaged the main pipeline that provided heating to about 600 residences — more than 40,000 people!” President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his evening address on Feb. 23. “Repair work will continue without pause until the heating supply is restored.”

Earlier in the day, Oleksandr Prokudin, the head of the Kherson Oblast Military Administration, said that the heating situation in Kherson was critical due to Russia's shelling.

He advised residents to prepare heaters and warm clothes.

Kherson has been continuously targeted by Russian shelling since it was liberated by Ukrainian forces in November 2022.
