Northern oblasts
Kyiv
Stabilization power outages in Kyiv have been canceled as the power supply has been restored.
Part of the roadblocks will be removed in Kyiv to make the city more comfortable for residents. Engineering structures, which must continue to perform their security function for the capital, will remain. But their components will be improved: unusable concrete blocks, sandbags, and anti-tank hedgehogs will be replaced with new ones; will strengthen the dugouts, put the trenches in order. Some other engineering obstacles that will be important for the defense of the city will remain in “sleep” mode – concrete blocks, sandbags, anti-tank hedgehogs, etc., will be left in designated places. So that in the event of a threat to the capital, the system of such engineering barriers can be promptly returned to combat mode in the shortest possible time.
A photo exhibition dedicated to the Mariupol Drama Theater will be held in Kyiv. It will feature archival photos from the opening of the Mariupol Drama Theater to the present day, when only half-ruined walls are left of the building. Visitors will be able to see photographs that remind of the peaceful times – those of actors, plays, the interior of the building. There will also be photos from the time of the blockade, when the theater was used as a temporary shelter for people during shelling.
