Kyiv's LSHD hospital director Viktor Dorosh removed the main generator three months ago, causing power, water, and heating failure during the Russian shelling on the night of January 9, 2026, as victims arrived en masse, according to an X post by SymorozOfficial published over the past hour.

Mayor Vitali Klitschko visited the next evening, posted that everything was normal after a generator was installed, according to the same X post.
