‘We were prepared for days without heat but not running water,’ Ukrainian MP says

A Ukrainian MP has said recent Russian attacks on energy infrastructure are making it “harder” for Ukrainians, but added that “no one is complaining”.

Kira Rudik told Sky News: “There are no military targets in these objects Russia is attacking, Putin is attacking them just to make sure it is harder for us to survive winter. Today, people are figuring out how to get water for themselves and their families.

“We were ready for spending a couple of days without electricity and heat, but we were not ready to spend days without running water and this is what may happen.”

She added that while Ukrainians are working to restore damaged sites, she claimed Russia waits for them to be restored and targets them again.

Ms Rudik added that people are preparing to supply water for themselves and using local sources.

“People are supporting each other, but it’s getting harder and harder in Kyiv and other major cities in Ukraine.”

Earlier, we reported that 80% of residents in the Ukrainian capital are without water, according to the city’s mayor.
