In them, Russian troops used more than 1,600 weapons of various types against peaceful Kyiv."

The number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Kyiv has increased by almost 11,000 over the past year. "The strikes on energy facilities have forced us to save energy and learn to live without electricity.

For almost 100 days last year, Kyiv residents lived under emergency or rolling power outages. The average duration of the power outage for an average resident of the capital was about nine hours a day," Popko said. Nevertheless, the Kyiv City Military Administration also mentioned the pleasant events of this year.
