The mayor of Kyiv Vitaliy Klitschko said in an interview with Sky News that the capital of Ukraine is facing a real apocalypse if the Russian attacks continue.

He said it was not time for a complete evacuation of the population, but warned that the worst possible scenario was not so far away.

"Kyiv remains without electricity, water and heating. It is possible that an apocalypse will hit us, just like in Hollywood movies. It will be impossible to live at these temperatures," emphasized Klitschko, a former world champion in boxing.

"What can I tell you?" We are still fighting and doing everything to prevent such a scenario from happening," he added. The biggest problem is that currently Kyiv does not have enough heated shelters.

"We prepared about 500 heated shelters, but in a city with 3,6 million inhabitants, that's nothing. Unfortunately, if the electricity supply continues to be problematic, we will be forced to drain the water from the buildings. At these temperatures, there is a possibility of the pipes bursting and the complete water supply will be threatened," warned the mayor of Kyiv.

Klitschko asked the citizens to prepare the most basic things for a possible evacuation.

"Prepare food, water, documents and warm clothes in case you need to leave the city immediately," he pointed out.

He also responded to President Zelensky's calls that Kyiv is not sufficiently prepared for electricity and heating shortages.

"It's weird. We have a common enemy and we start fighting with each other. "I don't think it's time for political confrontations," Klitschko concluded.
