Kyiv mayor Vitaly Klitschko urged Kyivans to prepare for the fact that this winter it will be cold in homes, there may be interruptions in gas and electricity supply. About this he said in the interview to the publication Babel.

"I do not want to reassure everyone and say that everything will be fine. We live in the current realities and have to consider different scenarios. Gas is the responsibility of the government, they assured us that there will be gas for the population and that it will not increase in price. This is an expectation. But we do not exclude the possibility of terrorist acts, attacks by gas pumping stations. This scenario we also take into account," the mayor of the capital said.

According to Klitschko, the city authorities purchased generators and fuel for these generators. In the first place they will go to hospitals, kindergartens and schools.

"We will do everything possible and impossible, which depends on us, so that the houses would be warm. But I ask everyone to prepare warm clothes, warm mats, because we do not exclude that the temperature in the buildings will be a few degrees below normal. The norm is 21 degrees, but it can be 19 or 18", - said the head of the city.

Klitschko added that "there may be interruptions in electricity," but the authorities will do everything to avoid it.

"If there are power outages, we have generators. If there is no heating or no gas, we have stocks of fuel oil. For some time we will be able to function autonomously. But this is a very short period of time, which is necessary to solve the problem". - He specified.

The Mayor also said that in February in Kyiv there were about one million people, and now, according to data of mobile operators about the number of phones in the city, the capital has about three million people - though not all of them are Kyians.

"Today officially about 120 thousand internally displaced persons were registered, but according to our estimates they are close to 200 thousand. Nearly one million Kiev citizens have not yet returned to the city," Klitschko said.

He also stressed that Kyiv was a target of the aggressor and remains a target of the aggressor, but he assured that the capital is now much better prepared for an impending enemy attack.
