Most Kyiv residents face scheduled power outages amid Russian attacks. The building where Mayor Vitali Klitschko owns an apartment is exempt, investigative journalists find.

According to investigative journalists at Slidstvo.Info, residents of Kyiv will face scheduled power outages due to Russian attacks on the city's energy infrastructure. The building where Mayor Vitali Klitschko owns an apartment is exempt from these outages, as it is connected to a critical infrastructure facility. DTEK Kyiv Grids informed the journalists that the apartment building and 10 other residential buildings are part of this critical facility, which is managed by the Kyiv City Military Administration.

As a result, these buildings cannot be disconnected separately during scheduled outages. Klitschko purchased the 225-square-meter apartment in 2013 after winning a fight in 1999. Russian attacks on energy infrastructure have intensified as colder weather approaches, with Russian forces striking Kyiv almost every night.
