In the Ukrainian city of Burshtyn, heat and water supplies have been partially restored after Russian forces targeted the local thermal power plant. Although not fully operational, the restoration is crucial for residents of the city in Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast as they contend with the ongoing impacts of war. Mayor Vasyl Andriieshyn emphasized that residents of apartment blocks need to address air trapped in the heating systems, which is vital for maintaining consistent heat delivery, and are encouraged to assist local management teams in ensuring the systems are functioning effectively.

The restoration efforts face challenges due to staffing shortages within the maintenance companies, prompting the mayor to call on residents to help where they can. Particularly, he noted that the hospital has been receiving adequate heating from a solid-fuel boiler, ensuring patient care remains stable despite the external adversities. “We must all be hands-on in this effort,” Andriieshyn remarked, underscoring the community spirit needed to recover from such setbacks.

Meanwhile, educational institutions in Burshtyn have transitioned to remote learning for the day, reflecting a broader trend affecting many areas in Ukraine as the conflict continues to disrupt daily life. The establishment of duty groups in pre-school institutions shows an effort to keep essential services running even amidst the interruptions, highlighting the resilience of Burshtyn's community as they adapt to the ongoing crisis.
