I held a daily coordination call. Today, reports were delivered on the situation in Kyiv and the region, Kharkiv and Poltava regions, Kropyvnytskyi and the region, Vinnytsia and Dnipro regions, Zaporizhzhia, and communities along the border with Russia and near the frontline. I consider the performance of the Air Force in some regions of Ukraine to be unsatisfactory, and together with the Commander of the Air Force and the Minister of Defense of Ukraine, we discussed which decisions must be immediately implemented to more effectively intercept “shaheds.” There were reports on the restoration of the energy sector and support for people in the Kharkiv region. The situation remains difficult in Kyiv, where more than 1,200 buildings in different districts of the capital are without heating. More support is needed for residents of these buildings. I instructed that digital tools be deployed to identify and analyze the specific needs of people and communities in real time. The head of Ukrzaliznytsia reported on the consequences of Russian strikes on logistics – these attacks have not stopped for a single day, and throughout this January there has been a significant increase in Russian strikes specifically targeting the railway network. I am grateful to all railway workers for the rapid restoration efforts and for keeping the railways operating. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine reported on the deployment of the necessary forces for recovery efforts and on the operation of assistance points and warming centers. The Minister of Energy reported on the schedule for commissioning cogeneration facilities. The Prime Minister of Ukraine reported on the implementation of government support programs, including the "Warmth Packages" program – we will be expanding it. Thank you to everyone who is helping our people and our communities right now. Glory to Ukraine! -
