The Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, uses power generators to light the Christmas tree, due to the electricity crisis caused by the damage to the energy sector’s infrastructure, as a result of the Russian attacks.
In Kyiv, the electric power crisis resulting from the targeting of infrastructure by Russian missiles and drones continues.

In statements he made to reporters, Klitschko said that New Year’s celebrations are limited in Ukraine this year to limited and small events, due to the continued Russian attacks on his country.
He added that many energy facilities in Kyiv are suffering from problems and crises due to being targeted by the Russian marches.
On February 24, Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine, which was followed by international rejection and economic sanctions on Moscow, which requires Kyiv to abandon plans to join military entities to end its operation, which the latter considers an “interference” in its sovereignty.
