Kyiv Mayor Hits Back at Zelenskyy Over Power Outage Criticism

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has criticized Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko over the city's severe power outages following Russian attacks, blaming a lack of municipal preparation for the heating season. Klitschko sharply rejected the accusations, calling them manipulation and lies, and stated that Kyiv has been providing district heating since October 16. He also noted that city representatives were not invited to presidential consultations on the matter. Russia launched 36 missiles at Kyiv and its surroundings on Saturday, further disrupting electricity, heating, and water supplies. The attacks are intensifying ahead of upcoming trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi, which are expected to have low chances of a breakthrough.
