  "account": "Kyiv's City Administration is drafting lists of residents who may require temporary relocation if Russian attacks disrupt heating services during the winter months, according to Deputy Head Maryna Khonda. The primary individuals targeted include elderly people living alone, those with disabilities, and families raising children with disabilities. Khonda explained that this decision was prompted by last year's winter when city services discovered that many individuals with limited mobility were not residing at their registered addresses. This issue is especially acute among internally displaced people, who are often registered in one district but reside elsewhere. \"Many internally displaced people are registered in one district but live in another,\" Khonda pointed out. The initiative has already been announced in residential buildings throughout Kyiv. City officials are in the process of establishing direct contact with potentially vulnerable residents in all districts to ascertain whether they possess alternative accommodation for emergencies. \"We need to have all the data and understand how many people may need help in winter,\" Khonda emphasized. The city is also identifying potential lodging options for residents should heating become unavailable for an extended period. The definitive list of temporary accommodations is still in the works. \"When all the lists are approved, we will definitely offer them to people,\" Khonda stated. City authorities are addressing these preparations on a case-by-case basis due to the impracticality of accommodating everyone in a single location. These measures are being implemented as Kyiv continues to face the ongoing threat of Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.",
  "summary": "Kyiv authorities are compiling lists of residents who may need temporary relocation if Russian strikes cause prolonged heating outages this winter. The initiative focuses on people with limited mobility, including elderly residents living alone, people with disabilities and families raising children with disabilities.",
