KYIV, Jan 12 (Reuters) - Emergency crews ‌toiled to restore heat and power to beleaguered Kyiv residents on Monday, more than three days ‌after Russian strikes on energy targets, and President Volodymyr Zelenskiy warned that new air attacks ‌could be imminent.

Officials said hundreds of apartment blocks in the capital remained without heat despite round-the-clock efforts by the crews. Humanitarian centres, dubbed "resilience points," were open for people to keep warm and charge electronic devices.
